What to say about it?

That it went off without a hitch, we all know that’s not true

I couldn’t find my tutu

Then I couldn’t find my slippers

The worst?

I don’t think I ever practiced

I have never even seen this place before…

That's a lie.

I see the dormitories I slept in, what was it months ago?

But that’s how it happens some dreams are just connected.

Now the curtains are tangled, up I climb

Never mind that I’m on in five.

It’s always five

The performance never comes

An unending tease, lingering of anticipation

For the best really, I don’t know any of the steps

In the waking world, I haven’t danced in years

50% chance I can’t dance here.

Oh, look the point of view has changed

My solo is already done

The performance is over.
