"Stuck in the middle
nowhere to go
People everywhere staring at me
stuck here
in a moment in time
Skirt blowing over my head
as the wind swept me into
the laughing crowd"
Like clattering Fall leaves
their laughter rattled
In a head spin
anxiety grew
While frantic
I raked and tucked my
skirt between my legs
Sigh. . .
In the next moment of
endless time
cornered
like a mouse on stage-
warm cheeks radiating red-
I glanced up at the crowd . . .
gulp. . .then
graciously offered a bow
Inhaling. . .
Awe,
time prolongs
the crowd cheered more and
encore calls
Why,
my heart began to flutter
like spring butterflies
Is this my debue. . .?
A Marilyn Monroe que. . .?
Why not?
So. . .gloriously again
I spun in the wind, but
the laughter. . .
I couldn't hear it at all. . .huh?
Where did every body go?

nowhere to go
People everywhere staring at me
stuck here
in a moment in time
Skirt blowing over my head
as the wind swept me into
the laughing crowd"
Like clattering Fall leaves
their laughter rattled as
I desparately raked my skirt
between my legs
Then. . .
in the next moment in time
like a cornered mouse on stage-
warm cheeks radiating red-
I glanced up at the crowd . . .then
graciously offered a bow

Sometimes the only thing you can do is take a bow.
