I really feel
that I should do something
I just don’t know what
I stumble along
like the idiot savant
but even that
is too high a claim to make
and I apologize
I back off the utter absurdity
of that claim
I shy away form
any of the spotlight
Stammering in a state
of impotent stasis
That’s all I really
do anymore
and I hate it that
I have to admit it
before an audience
