Even mimes tell stories

Even mimes tell stories


Even mimes tell stories
They stand out in a crowd
Face all white in a mask
Simple black clothing

All the characters on a baseball team
Simplicity in their every action
The dialog in everyone’s mind
The story is the same from country to country
Dialog the only thing that deviates

A team of one
Pitcher, batter, catcher and the umpire
A strike or a home run
The mime stays in the same spot

Faces in the crowd change
People talking starting each sentence
With “I “or “me” but never we
The mime looks up to the stars
Puts his imaginary hat on
Staying in one spot walks into future


Even mimes tell stories
All the characters on a baseball team
Simplicity in their every action
The dialog in everyone’s mind
The mime looks up to the stars
Puts his imaginary hat on
Staying in one spot walks into future
