was it real?
i stood above the other faces
words fell from my mouth
i forgot more than half
of the things that i wanted to say
and fumbled with the microphone
later on, someone asked
“have you given the speech yet?”
“yes,
i have.”

the night blazed on
faces came and went
it was over
before I felt I had a grip
on things

i miss those
empty days
already
sitting in a room
waiting for viewers
watching the procession
of pedestrians
slowing down
and turning their face
our way
or speeding past, uninterested
occasionally
while all alone
it felt
like forever
but now it merely feels
a lifetime ago.
