Improvisation

First, a proviso:
keep your eyes out
for the unexpected
stranger
wearing no persona
no masquerades to embellish
or weave a partial face
nor charades to caricature,
keep-eyes-open is the word
prepared at every season's turning
to show and be
welcoming,
everything hinges on
this show-your-cards event
signaling and alluding to
your first and final words
body-marked and gestured
which here invite a stranger
to enter into her welcome.

Last, a proviso:
keep your eyes out
faithful to follow the first,
faithfully conclude all improvisation
by repeating all welcomes, event-after-event [maybe event-upon-event?]
until all are no-longer-strangers
but end this play as friends-at-rest.
