Isolated in the circling light,
he consults his notes,
mops his brow
and peers out blindly.
"Now?"
Tentative applause,
perhaps encouragement is unwise,
dangerous even but he is off,
eyes unfocused, toes curling.
"Sir Ego Libido" someone whispers
a little too loud to giggling response,
if he hears he doesn't miss a beat.
Using words we never knew
could sound this way,
they silence us at once,
make us close our eyes for visions
none of us care to share.
