My Mime Day Today


It’s a mime day for me,
sitting on a chair which
is not there, standing up
and abruptly waving my
arms about frantically,

placing hand over hand
against an invisible wall of
glass, pulling an invisible
rope with a straining weight
on the other end as I laugh

and cry without a chuckle
or a sob to be heard. My
life today constitues a run
in place, without getting
anywhere, speechless, as

my actions are decidedly
louder than my words. Oh,
and my face paint, flowered
derby, my black and white
striped shirt are a silent but

dead giveaway of the wacky
mimic I portray. That’s just
who I happen to be today…
Tell me, what in hell are you
dressed up to be?
