NEO-DRAMAS: Exiting the Theatre of Absurdity

III

	Go ahead -
	laugh at me!
	I acknowledge I'm a fool . . .
	& yet it is worth asking
	should we wander past video arcades
	when so many plebeians are impoverished
	& countless Shakespeares are without food?

	Success was never an option.
	This NEO DRAMA stuff –
	what of it?

	Must existence be so brutal
	as rabid cancers spread?

	If that is true
	then it's time for a new vision
	to awaken the undead.

	Yet perhaps we should question:
	Can't we be bold while performing
	or will we be cowards instead?
