Poem

“This life has a lot of misery

Therefore I chose to be in the background with stuntmen

so I wouldn’t be hit by depression

and I can also embody all the roles.”

“This is what the lead actor says…

while sitting with the audience, indifferent to the director’s reprimands or the actors’ pleas.”

“As for me

I will stop clapping after that

and I will not stand by anyone from now on.”
