AND ACTION

when I leave the house
sheep have been arranged in fields
and the allocations of cars 
have been made for today’s passing
with scripts sent out nightly
to those I might encounter
those set management guys
have been busy again
even the sky looks real
I’m sure someone must yell
AND CUT 
when I fall asleep at night
and set up begins again

funny though
I feel like an extra
in my own show

That ending line really striked a gloomy chord.. "I feel like an extra in my own show" Life can be such that sometimes, when we feel unwanted by our own souls.. Quite a poignant touch that you've given to this very intriguing and deep write.. made me think and feel so much.. Also, I am really intrigued by the setup of a show here.. Expressing life as a theatrical scene.. Thought-provoking, I really enjoyed reading this!
