this thing
out of shyness
& that no one will respect any thing serious
from me while i am outside
that is where i feel to be
i notice that i stood a space away
and drawn in will joke & play
hoping to look happy that
all will like me
having been a dancer
taught to smile
whatever
to carry on
then a waitress
taught to smile
to carry on whatever
never serious
do not make that mistake
show them who you really
are
though
the joker has ten nominations
really oh really!!
