Audition

Cattle call, lined-up, no union affiliation
concentration on whether to belt or go for the head-note
quote of the day mantra..."you got this"
piss all over the stage uh huh yep  to come
some nervous wreck quickly exits the room teary
weary and shy got checked 'fore leaving home
poem in motion said red means run not stop
cops don't have nothing better to do than harass
grass we're sitting on is concrete
feet tired from standing 2 hours
power push ups like a man to scare away sex-seeker
weaker flipped to strength when he approached in fun
one glance only chance to escape
cape tendencies from a comic book hero once known
grown now sipping tea humming vocalizes spit-drizzle on text
next...finally my turn...
