Eyeball to eyeball with problematic existence,
imprisoned by the bonds of love, (and in competition,)
I wish release with an anaesthetic elixir,
fixing my spirit with the comfort of relaxing gaiety.
The beige velvet curtain sinks to the floor,
and I glory to be left with my own thoughts, backstage,
outrageously ruminating on what I will,
killing my inhibitions in a carefree caper.
I shape my sliding feet to perform enormous
feats of the simplest inspiration, suddenly
muddling, demanding care and intricate dexterity -
heralding an inner chorus of ribald mirth.
My speech is slurred and vision's gone askew,
but surely I must seem supreme to you?
