• Step forward,
    “Testing, testing, one two….”
    Fade to black.
    Step to the left,
    “Testing, testing, one two…..”
    Disappear into the night.
    Step to the right,
    “Testing, testing, one two…”
    Phase into shadows.
    “Go back to the top,”
    “Start over again,”
    “The staging was wrong,”
    “Don’t ******** this time.”
    “Testing, testing, one two three,”
    Don’t let the dark of backstage scare me.
    Enter center stage,
    But don’t be noticed by the crowd,
    “Testing, testing, one two three”
    When the lights go up, I can’t be found.
    “Now that was silly,”
    “Get your head in the game.”
    “You missed your light cue,”
    “Start over again.”
    “Testing, testing, four five six.”
    I’m gone.
    “Missed again, come back out!”
    I’m nowhere to be found.
    “Damnit kid! Get back on stage!”
    They’ll never find me.“Don’t make me come back there!”
    …but nothing’s to be found
