– Married To The Mic Stand –
I love to be the barfly
sitting on the back wall,
letting the energy
of words pass through me.
I work my fingers
through the condensation
dripping down from
the glass of my drink,
wet the snaps of
my fingers in recognition of
the speaker that stands before us
to bear themselves aloud.
Whether shaking from the core
or standing tall and proud,
we carry them all as one.
