Spew Upon the Footlights
stability in the rail
as we approach
a curtain soaked stage
sways of nausea
stable only
after each step
when every question
is explained away
as theatrics
superstitions
creative blunders
stress blocking
jumbled with lines
scripts cued
among impulses to
improvise
or just
take down the house
in a crash of sweet sick
A grin for
expectations
of a performer
so much for
a block buster
as we approach
a curtain soaked stage
sways of nausea
stable only
after each step
when every question
is explained away
as theatrics
superstitions
creative blunders
stress blocking
jumbled with lines
scripts cued
among impulses to
improvise
or just
take down the house
in a crash of sweet sick
A grin for
expectations
of a performer
so much for
a block buster
