The Role of the Role Poem by James Tian




 The Role of the Role


By   James Tian

Already standing on the stage,
My first line is:
If I step onto the stage,
What would I say?

Either sincere words,
That never step onto the stage,
Or a sincere display,
That comes to an understanding with the stage.

Never feel—
Feeling that’s hard to step out of the play;
In fact, that’s entering the role…
And never shed tears,
Because I haven’t yet exited…

Though tears are part of the play,
Hold back their display.
From stepping out to stepping in,
There’s the assumption of a door;
Whether it’s opened or not,
Only now do my heart and I,
Become two parts which are separated…
