Behind This Consciousness

Behind this consciousness
That curtains, there's a stage called Self.
Its acting does not cease.

Because It can't rehearse
Every expression counts.
Its execution none can fault –
No audience accounts.

The theatre may not guess
The plays: then, now or next.
I? I creep up close, overhear,
And just sketch the script.
And present it here.
