Onstage at the Shakespeare Festival


The exit lights are dimmed.

The stage doors are locked.


Under a spotlight,

I stand alone.


Without a clue which part I play.

Without a script.


Without any clothes.

Holding a cup of tea.


I pour cream into my tea.

I pour myself into my tea.


I play the part 

of the tempest.

Dazed and Confused


No way, those Waymo

self-driving cars

have nightmares 

in the dark.

They honk out for 

each other,

and sleep-drive

in despair.

They wake up 

all their humans

who cannot do a thing,

but wait until the morning

light and drive their

silent, sluggish cars

to Starbucks for some coffee.

.......stunned by the first verse....just stunned.....in fact, so much I found it hard to focus on the second, and can only promise to come back to do it justice and read.


I have been a theatre director, and really felt the atmosphere in that poem very, very much. Will check your published work because have really become spellbound in these last three poems.
