Darkened Window

Look out the window as darkness begins to fall
And soon the window will show what lies inside
Instead of the darkness outside
A mirror on what is known
And a reversal of fortune
For those inside
Who have become actors on a stage
For any passerby who cares to see the show
Making up the lines in their heads
Based on what the actors face would reveal
As they make their entrances
And hit the spots
With perfect accuracy
Until realizing they are watched
The actors take their bows
And close the curtains on the show
And the play closes on the night it opened
Only to open with a new show on view
The very next night
