Acting Lessons for
Everyday Life
a poem by John Lehman

The Woman:
Feed his ego, laugh at his jokes, order something expensive from the menu. You're a prize worth paying for.

The Man:
Act handsome and clever, as if you and she were both young, and it's you who are the desirable one.

The Scene:
Create something that transcends the sadness of this bar. It's Last Call, folks, what's so hard?
SHAKESPEAREIMAGE
