Nervousnesses

Worthy
worthy
worthy.

Repetition
repetition
repetition.

look around.
what do you see?
bored faces,
fidgeting hands,
wondering eyes
wandering brains.

Open your mouth.
hopeful looks
No, fake a yawn.
Butterflies vomiting
even more butterflies.
 -At least they're not moths!
Shudder, moths...

Someone yawns.
An impatient throat clears.
Look to the clock,
a minutes past.
Crap.
"Get on with it!"
a monty python accented voice yells.
it is ignored.

They don't want,
even if they think
that they do,
to hear my words.
Unless I'm funny.
I twist my hands,
take a deep breath,
look down at the pink words.
 -God, I hope I'm funny
and begin.

"Arabellaaaaaaaaa!"
