I'm always late.
The class doesn't seem to mind;
They smile and smirk
In bemusement.
The life of the Comedian-
A weather-beaten,
Edge-trodden existence.
The role of the Spectator-
To expect
To laugh.
A hostage situation:
Peers press words
To my throat.
They may forget my gaunt gaze,
Sleep-deprecated eyes,
and drab attire,
