Preparing a Speech
Memorizing lines as dawn grows near,
3 a.m. and still practicing,
Fearing, Insight no closer.
Wake up to the sound of an alarm,
Fall out of my chair,
Walk out unprepared,
the time arises, caught asleep, unaware,
Stumble forward, assistance needed,
Eyes large and pleading,
As I begin to say my part
