Off Stage
copyright 2025 by Michael Walker
Why is it
Everything important to me
Seems to happen
Off Stage?
Poetry
Religion
Community
While I stand
Looking out at
Darkness
Fumbling lines
I do not believe
Wearing
An ill-fitting
Costume
The pants
About to fall down.
A lover once
Said to me
You have a lot of talent
But you do not
Take care of
Business
The stage manager is
Always shouting
Sing out
