Parker Owens caused me to be created
don't breathe
waiting intensely
while the silence echoes
until the moment for applause
erupts
~~~
counting
always watching
now preparing, then one
glorious sound triumphantly
bursts forth,
golden
shimmering perfection dying
slowly away until
nothing remains
but breath
~~~
losing
concentration
mind wandering, eyes turning
inward, ears hear without listening
until
lazy
dull senses are snared, firing up,
alert, 'Where are we? There,
I think. That's
