Open Mic – v2

Can you hear me in the back?

Let’s see –

A little about me

What would they want to know…

Set the mood, a light laugh line

Parse the group

Gauge the crowd

What they want to hear

How’s it going?

Thanks for the opportunity

To share, to speak

To be real, authentic

Shouldn’t listeners have to wear name tags

Expose a bit of soul too

Like those of us sharing

Under the hot lights…

Aren’t they though,

If you pay attention

to the fidget and the clap

Subtle and not so oblique silences

Hello? Hello!?

Is this thing on?
