Stage

[Jerrybaldy]

I write in these hours,
with an oily rag,
grooming shy words in the dark.

No light for pretence
for both in the crowd
saw nothing happen at all.

Blind glances exchanged,
enthused ,they yell out
for more.

No posts yet? Blasphemy!

I feel as if I'm missing the punchline which would be apparent to everyone else. But, I like the imagery.

This seems quite a departure for you Jerry. Cultural pretense? Reminds me of T.S. Eliot, "In the room the women come and go talking of Michelangelo".
