Stage

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 
 
 Recruited to this stage, 
 this time,
 along the itinerary
 of unfolding existence;
 
 blown senseless by
 the whoosh of traffic;
 others speeding towards their own 
 uncertain destinations,
 
 that’s their business.
 
 You shake it off;
 your stage awaits.
 
 Climbing the steps of intuition
 you come to your own rescue,
 with a joke, a song, or
 a tall tale.

 Your confidence rests in knowing that
 nobody is paying attention.
