Open Mic

Can you hear me in the back?
Let’s see –
A little about me

Set the mood, a light laugh line
Parse the group
Gauge the crowd

How’s it going?
Thanks for the opportunity

Shouldn’t the listeners have to wear name tags
Expose a bit of soul too
Like those of us sharing

Aren’t they though,
If you pay attention
to the fidget and the clap
Subtle and not so oblique silences

Hello?
Is this on?
