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?
