there were always performers
all of us as children begin in theater
forgetting our lines but not the drama
and then come the satyrs leading in
their boy-king caught rehearsing
his own subsequent slaughter
after which the satyrs started to dress
so no one would recognize them anymore
and then the stories could begin like
the one about the man who accidentally
killed his mother in a car crash
inheriting her millions
and after three years met
a beautiful older man in a bar
he subsequently married
only to find out in barely a month
it was his own father
he was sleeping with
he thought was dead
but it turns out later
it was only a tumor
