PERFORMANCE

 

If I became a drama teacher would I be satisfied

with my performance so far? On stage. Acting out ….

Saying my lines. Doing my thing. Living my public life.

 

But backstage – what are my thoughts and feelings?

Ugly feelings? Satisfied? Wondering? Reviews?

What kind of reviews would I give myself so far?

RHYTHM AND BLUES

 

First of all, you have to have them:

the blues.

You also have to have good sound:

rhythm.

Take the time to be aware

of what you’re really feeling:

hurt, hurried, or deep down down.

Next comes the music –

aware of those clouds –

aware of the rain.

Feel that weather

before it changes,

before it floats away.

Capture it: the rhythm and the blues.

CAPABLE

 

Capable?

I don’t know.

Have to think about it.

I guess it’s also an, “It all depends.”

Professional?

I never used that description about me.

Learned a few things at school and lectures,

workshops and watching others, but mostly

learned from the experience of out there working.

So if you ask me – or wonder if I’m capable -

try me. Time will tell. You can make the judgement.
