‘Scuse my silence, I’m just
Over here dealin’
With a little heartbreak
Nothing that’ll kill me
But enough to knock
The words from my mouth
And the sonnets from my sight
Keep writing what I think
Happened, knowing it wasn’t
Like that, not entirely
Got a lot to say but
Nowhere to put it; the
Ninth act deleted
Before it began
Curtains drawn, no
Final bows allowed
I fear now, all along my
Interpretation was off
Making more plot than
The playwright conceived
My performance gaudy
Overdrawn and naught
But bothersome to
Other players, time wasting
And over-sharing barging
Through unwritten scenes
Now sitting in the wings, the
Show’s over, the run’s complete
Time to repaint the backdrops
And move on then, is it?
Hard to forget, don’t really want to
Greasepaint and glitter stubbornly
Linger, a constant reminder
Ever fainter, of shows past
Perhaps never to play again
