What If . . .

What If
You Were Born
into a Tribe of Players
In The Theater of
Love?

Love of
The Other Players,
Love of
Your Surroundings.

Gardens and
Furry Creatures and
Jungles and
Waterworks of
Waves and Tidepools and
River Runs with
Finned and Water-Breathing
Leaping Diving Wonders?

And That’s Just
Act 1, Scene 1,

Before The Clowns
Come On and
The Laughing
Leads Into

The Act Where
Adam Meets Eve and
Little Ones
Appear Onstage.

But Somewhere
A Player Named Fear
Is Writing
A Book of Rules

To Tame The Clowns and
Order The Little Ones
Into Clans and Clubs and
Commandments and Covenants and
Cathedrals and
Congressional Committees.

What If
It’s Time
To Take The Play Book
from Fear

and Let
The Lovers and
Little Ones and
Clowns and
Caretakers of Creativity

Write The Plays
for a Change?
