A woman in takes center Stage

‘You are dying’

Contemplate that for a minute or two, then go about my day.

When the right (wrong?) person, normally in scrubs, says it, the facts become too hard to ignore.

Dick has Stage

Four Cancer in mulitple points in his body.

He Knows what we are all too scared to admit:

This is a short, delicate play that we are all

acting on the Stage

like it will never end.

Could this play be more enjoyable if we knew that it is going to end?

Even if the final act is one of lying on a bed, our bodies finally giving into pressures.

The Stage

Is set.
