I like that I closed the show,
that I am your last memory
of the evening,
the ghost of my performance,
lingering as you seek your sleep.
The absence of ignorance, for me,
shows I know the host
was leaving me until last
to leave you with a lasting
impression. The digestion
of free-form, the audience
understands that their applause
demands, one day,
I shall once again – perform.
