Short Sharp Script Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

She is small and perfect the young actor -
Playing the girl who runs down her friend /
And an attending mortuary doctor -
Avoiding a dissemblance to the end.

Perfect in the ceremony of art
Pleading for drama's rites with eloquence
Not looking for approval in each part
Oblivious to praise or recompense.

How do we know that her skill is perfect?
That what is revealed is the absolute -
That relatively there is no defect -
That what is intrinsic is resolute?

Her intuition unveils role, form and space -
All for truth and everything in its place.
