The curtain opens

Audience releases a sigh of excitement

Hypocritos steps on the stage.

Audience clasps his hands in wait

Act Three

Audience asks to laugh.

Hypocritos wears a large grinning mask

After quoting his comedy lines,

Audience roars and laughs.

Act Four

Audience demands to cry.

Hypocritos grabs a frowning mask and howls

In the middle of some tragic lines,

Audience moans and weeps.

Last Act

The curtain falls.

Audience claps.

Hypocritos sighs.

Curtain Call

Audience goes,

Finds another masquerade to laugh and to cry.

Hypocritos takes off files of mask,

Then wears his one true disguise.
