The Daze of Whine and Roses

stumbling forward
cannot remember the lines
not the lines on the mirror
but the lines on your face
then why volunteer
creating the pressure
sweaty palms
stuttered mutterings
is love of attention
the feel good
when the anxiety is
conquered
when the applause
is handed down
was it Annie or *****
that took the load off
did she do it for free
I wish she were here now
so she could take it off of me
but if I fall
and cannot get up
would you help
would I have helped
if I had seen the king
stumble and fall
knowing that life was at stake
could I just watch
I truly hope I would have the courage
or a man I surely would not be
