patter & rapport

for my last trick, I will have played
the previous song
with my eyes closed

almost entirely. If my mouth strayed
too far from the microphone,
I hope

some kind hand gave my shoulder a shove.
I couldn't have noticed.
The moment took all

my attention, yes even with eyes squeezed shut,
it took all my attention and effort to keep
from meeting your gaze,

which would sure shut me up.
