Change

Concentrate on what to say
Mind moving too slowly
Think harder, dammit!
Retrospect does no justice
Heat of the moment, a loud flop
Removed from the body
Rigor mortis
More like cerebral rigor
Unfocused, lockdown
Clamp the vocal cords
Something more
Attached to this person
Can't escape
Tethered to the character
And forced to live it
