he looks for a different door

in rooms without walls

in rooms which don’t exist

for exits to other spaces

traces of other selves

still trapped in former places

between the comings and goings

everything occurs off stage

implied in his scripted lines

yet here there is no drama

no audience no fourth wall

nor any walls to cross at all

he exists here now like you

alone with no place to go
