The Applause

The applause I had a drink before to a poetry reading and since I was nervous drank a few whiskeys and spoke dramatically about the plight of the Palestinians I needed help to get down from the stage since my glasses were at the hotel. Next day we went to a meeting where the top of The educated class go, I thought they were idiots they had erudition but no learning, So I got up and spoke for fifteen minutes. The silence was colossal, think of a needle falling from the galaxy and landing on Himalaya I had committed the sin of saying the global warming was a natural disaster and had nothing to do with global warming. The meeting was not reported in the local paper but what do I know, I do not speak this Roman soldier’ language.
