Unexpected

It is striking to me

That I don’t seem to be

Affected

At all

By this big surprise,

This huge pack of lies.

So what?

I don’t care.

In fact, it is true

That I’m happy for you.

I smiled,

I chuckled.

And blithely went on

Humming a song

To myself

In the dark

Barren room.

Confidence

I am

multiple levels 

of fascinating,

Infinite types

of amazing,

Millions of modes

of mesmerizing

I shall

hypnotize you all

simply by being

No tricks.

No traps.

No slight of hand...

Just me

being the me

you're so delighted 

to see;

Just being

the me

that must

always be

Spectacular

Closing Time

No,don’t turn the lights on

I’m not finished with the dance floor

I’ve got a dance or two left in me

Or, more likely, even more
