As the theatre darkened we were seated.
"The show will start in five minutes"
A faceless voice announced.
"The entertainment you'll see tonight is nothing new,"
"You seen it all through and through"
"You've seen your birth, your life, your death."
"You may remember all the rest, but all is said and done,"
"Is there enough to base a movie on?"
--Jim Morrison 1963
