a room full
of bored faces
stare expectantly
at the lone fool
sitting
under the glaring spotlight
he opens and shuts
his mouth
repeatedly
as the words
evaporate
before hitting tongue
this was a mistake
a foolish
miscalculation
yet here he sits
expounding
upon nothing
ladies and gentlemen
allow us
to present
an idiot
with absolutely nothing
to say

A poem with different interpretations. I like that.

That’s what I think. And if not, just imagine reading just to me… someone you’ve killed many times 😉 Your nerves are safe-ish with me.

I just signed up for a convention for next year and clicked the reading/be on a panel button. Already the anxiety is killing me.
