Closing Act

The curtain is falling

It's thick and red

As it descends I put my arms over my head in a noble attempt to postpone the inevitable.

I sadly realize I cannot be everywhere at once, my arms do not stretch that far,

I soon expend all my strength running from stage left,

To stage right

Slowly the applause are extinguished by the barrier,

and finally the lights go out.
