Idled in security
Packing and repacking my ominous equipment
Gleeful explanations…
Obnoxious yoga at the gate
My deepest Warrior I, a wobbly Crow
Diverting restless energy
Discreetly flaunting biceps
Angling to show the
Ostentatious bruise upon my arm
On the laptop, competition video
Hoping for the question
“There, on the left, that’s me. That colored light? My touch.”
Inevitable queries
“How do you pack your swords?”
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
And (my favorite)
“You get paid for this?”
(Pause for silent laughter)
Absolutely conscious of the
Transitory glory of the world
The brevity of my bit part
I’ll play it to the hilt, while
Waiting for the action to begin
