It’s Like Singing In The Shower MAG

By Anonymous

Anxiety.
Trembling hands fumble the microphone.
Just pretend everyone is naked, they say.

Step into a sprinkle
of shouts,
cheers shower
as multicolored halogen spotlights splash
on the faces of the band.
The cotton throat is quenched:
One,Two, Three, Four.
Fluid melodies steal the show
as lyrics make the getaway
to sudden silence.

Where did the glamour go?
And courage-inducing cameras?
The over-generous girls?
All slipped away,
down the drain,
gripping too tightly
on the bar of soap.
