Poor thing. What a jolt
seeing this delivers.
Such a poignant moment
of piercing, heart-cut tragic
comeuppance – the slapdown we get
for trying to shine,
spotlit for our one too-brief moment
on a too-smooth stage. This
teaches each of us
everything we probably don’t want to know, about
ourselves and about each other. I applaud
the crowd at the end,
for applauding. It’s certain
that if I were there, I
would have burst into tears
