    Performance:
    Bankrupt way to live
    False words, acts




    [N.B.: I.e., "performance" as a way of interacting with others/self in Real Life.]

    Yes, as a term used for example when talking about street theatre

    Ah, yes, funny amaryn! You take it a step in slightly different direction!

    Street "performers" are far less offensive to me--whether they perform well or poorly--at least everyone knows it is a performance. The "fakes" in real life pass themselves off as authentic. (Ah, yes! I see where you are going, Mr. Professional!)

    Indeed, Frankie You couldnot have accused flamingos of something negative!

    Doug, this one's on a different line of thought, nothing to do with criminal justice

    Turning lies to reality
    is fantasy that avoids
    the pain of what's lost
    There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.

    silent hope remains
    daring to turn what is into a
    brave new world
    There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.

    Where to?
    Abandoning my heart
    I ask myself.

    I ask myself
    is my heart really mine
    or a present?

    of giving that which
    I most desire
