Elastic Last Act

She had a dream last night It was just like real life Only difference was Everyone was an actor Playing themselves Inching towards the elastic last act What if she’s been playing herself For so long she’s just forgotten Always stretching towards the ending? “Say is that a fact” Time is bending it’s impending? “The impact’s too abstract” Always stretching towards the ending? “I just can’t keep track” Time is bending it’s impending? The elastic last act Ruth on a round stage She feels odd and uncomfortable Someone walks in, sits down, gives a little cough She can’t step off She wants to but she can’t Always stretching towards the ending? “Say is that a fact” Time is bending it’s impending? “The impact’s too abstract” Always stretching towards the ending? “I just can’t keep track” Time is bending it’s impending? The elastic last act
