The Show Must Go On

A Poem

By Blaise TeresePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

memory succors as synergist

to prompt on what they had missed.

relatives

name me the "mist"

because I enter and exit the place

without a sound or retiring trace.

Didn't mind to make you start;

plays done purposefully aren't that smart.

classmates

don't cast the part,

because after they went off book and script

without leading roles, it flopped unequipped.

Intrusive sorries call for line

paralysis from lack of spine.

parents

pass off stage fright,

because earlier the understudy

was optional and not necessary.

contracts are signed in pencil

bonded by more than initial.

audience

beneficial,

because characters hear only crickets

regardless against the sale of tickets.
