Foyer Performance

After seven hours 
Restlessly waiting 
Ive shaved for this
Waiting impatiently 
To hear the front gate
Come home soon
Ive began to hurt
being physically present
Alone as a idea
Floats by me 
I could just go home
I suppose 
A grand gesture 
Maybe hide in the dark
Everyone enjoys Surprises 
Some glair and grace
Could be in order 
I would stand 
Warm greetings 
To you all
Id wear my
Flapper dress 
Red and blue
My finest fascinater
Donned 
My favorite piece
Royally wave 
Dawn a Thomson 
A found when
I was wandering around 
Playfully of course 
Get them laughing 
Shot her 
A jest on my lips
My Beautiful drees 
Not fatally of course 
Make him watch
As I whisper
Im not killing her 
Watch her Bleeding out 
All over the foyer 
The foyers the stage
A theatrical night
I shoot him
Not fatally of course 
Let them know
WhrreThey're going 
To hell of course 
No I am 
Sometimes I forget 
They are me
Death shows up
And asked
Are you having a good time 
You know you can't kill them
Unless you kill you
Im trying to have
a nice night
You imagination lacks 
Effectiveness effort
And grace
I mentioned grace earlier 
Im wearing a dress
Get back to work 
Get some sleep 
I have grace
