NIGHT MAUSOLEUM

web | Bravado

For those of us, who had drawn
a winning number
to appear on stage of life,
but fail in their performance
the consolation prize is,
The Big Sleep.
In front of your royal bed
on a gigantic screen is shown
the motion picture of your dreams.
You are director, screen playwright
and, of course, the star
of your show.
The prize of a ticket - BANKRUPTCY.
