sometimes i wish i could magically poke
or prod
or strangle everyone
who talks during a performance.
(that'd probably be literally everyone.
and i'd have to kill myself, too.)
but if you watch,
the audience is entranced -
we're hyptonised by all that's going on
onstage. the magic has pulled us in
and we're caught -
willing victims.
sometimes there'll be one person
who's moved to tears.
there'll always be somebody sleeping
(silently or noisily, depending...)
and somebody not listening at all;
but for each one of them there'll be somebody else utterly immersed.
