Audition for a Role in My Own Life
“I forgot my line”
She balanced on the heels of fluoride pink slippers
Piercing holes in the shag rug
“I forgot my line”
lips deflating,
Cheeks rock climbing up the bone
You are
Judy, Veronica, Jean, & Clara
You are
Mary, Grace, Carmen, & Ava
You are
Audrey, Sofia, Marilyn & Greta
Fingers crossed
Hips askew
With a face like that
she could have been every woman
With a dream like that
she may just be none.
