Nervous Exposure




   Handling himself well
 accepting the trauma to come
to his mind
    in the audience
participation
      he partook in
a rather extravegant
    purpose
  a plastic
    ceiling crowded
overhead
   barred in
and locked away
   he could not escape
 salvaging what he
  could of himself
 he
laughed nervously
.

Author notes

P.Stephenson: "As I watched him play proficiently and enthusiastically with his caged penis in front of three thousand hysterical people, the words thirty years old flash into my mind." Your four words, two of which you must include int he poem are: trio, salvage, bind and plastic.

i felt a sense of nervous exposure from this quote.

    Dignity, pride. In the end, those are nothing more than words, eh? Love the poem, it implies so much happening, and you can really get carried away in your own imagination with this poem.... Thanks for entering!

    A thoughtful interpretation (and impressive considering how quickly you put it together.) You really captured the percieved mood of your quote and reflected it in your subsequent poem.
    Some fantastic wording scattered about, particularly in these lines in the middle portion:
    "he partook in
    a rather extravegant
    purpose
    a plastic
    ceiling crowded
    overhead"
    I enjoyed reading this and sincerely hope that you enjoyed the challenge.

    a crowded plastic ceiling...this stuck out for me.
    I think you have expressed the state of this person very well.
    I thought the title was great also.
