Acting Out In The Theatre Poem by Wamii Flyer

Dispute
Leads to screaming

Gish galloping
Tearing his vocal cords

Grabbing
Any collar

Falling onto his knees
With tears following shortly

Crying, no, howling
Puddles of sorrow on the floor

Interrogative stares
Watch in dead silence

As he tries to stabilize himself
Through controlled breathing

Inhale, dusty air
Exhale, emotions

He slowly stands up, hands on thighs
Finishing off the act with one last sigh

A proud smirk grows
In the corner of his mouth

Sleeves fall to his forearms
As he motions to the crowd

Soon enough
Clapping roars throughout

The sight of a standing audience
Was worth all the practice

He wraps it all up
With a final bow

''Encore! ''
