Didn’t expect this
Red lipped
Buttoned up
Monologue
And strip on stage
Weird to think I know you
Strange to be a party to
This cold opening
Display of… fragility?
Every color of the rainbow
Cradling the panties worn
Of a volunteer who soon
Removes the lacy bra
That was left behind
Leaving behind stickers
And imagination
Making the most of those
Assets, and moving
For all that movement
Could be worth on stage
Cult appeal so surface
It fucked its way
Across almost
Every continent
Making sex so undervalued
By wanton display
To what end, I wonder
But I don’t wonder for long
The show has begun
And if I didn’t know yet
This starting pistol shot
Was what got
Everyone’s attention
