Compassion

An actor knows an actor --
from far away each sees
the skilled attempts at posturing,
reframing by degrees.
An actor knows an actor,
never troubled by the act,
performance, reflex -- like a sneeze --
which fails to muddy fact.
An actor knows an actor --
knows to bow and back away
when the other must take refuge 
in the role of his own play.
