The Dark White Way........ 16Oct03

Folder: 
2003

It's nervewracking

I was so nervous that I choked... figuratively.

Then those who I knew as my equals, or less,

seemed to shine in comparision.

I wanted it to much, and so much *more* than them...

That I practically bombed.

Yet I worried not, for she was a gentle, forgiving spirit.

And I relied on and trusted her

Thought it was smooth sailing

Put my fate in her marvellous hands

...and in a moment I was spirited away.

cast...aside. into the nonexistent corner

snubbed and replaced.

my fortune left untold,

and my fate left unknown...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For those of you who are not theatrically inclined: 'The Great White Way' refers to Broadway, and this poem describes an audition experience of mine.
