Poems
Jun 2020
Ahem
the poet steps up to the podium
they turn to the page that is marked
grin at the crowd
and begin
by recalling how to breathe
"Are they choking?"
"Is this part of it?"
"No, I think that they are actually choking."
"No couldn't be, it's part of the show, relax."
the crowd applauds
with many a cheer and shout
then retreating to the exit signs
with a body on the floor
if anyone asks
it's too late,
the poet has died
choking on ideas.
"What were they choking on?"
"No idea."
