HAPPY ENDINGS

The audience roars,
jumps to its feet,
applause goes on and on

but not forever.

Don’t forget
in the middle of any adulation
that it ends
however impressive the performance.
You’ve got to have something else to live on.

Didn’t you learn anything from Shakespeare?

...how about "All's Well That End's Well."
...or "Use It or Lose It"...
