Under the intense
glare of a spotlight
a man can be seen
bowing to stage fright.
His partner in crime
is free to observe
as he tries in vain
to regain his nerve.
He never thought he’d see the night
when this girl he would not excite,
but now he lies awake with his own
flesh and bone.
He figures in time
a scene he might steal
but now he’s acting
the villain for real.

Flesh and bone.
Flesh and bone.
