The Show Goes Up at 8:00pm
“The show goes up at 8:00
I siad, “Both nights at 8pm.”
But no one came at 8:00
no one at 8pm.
I sat beneath the lights,
as someone got their flowers.
But there were no flowers for me,
not at 8pm.
Someone gets a hug,
another gets a kiss.
I get nothing,
not at 8pm.
The show is over now,
it’s well past ten o’clock.
I remember that I said,
“The show goes up at 8pm.”
