unsuitable... it's said
Some of us just aren't suited...
for normality...like me
for I never could fit into their mold
no matter if ridiculed, punished or told...that
this behavior just wouldn't do...that
maybe...if I was ''more like you''...
...not gonna happen...
...not me...
...forget it...

Today...would be a good day for purple, says she,
who tends toward greens and browns...
something 'bout growing up ''red on the head''...
made me yearn for anonymity...
Though most of my life's work required
costuming...and being ''On Stage''...
therein lies a certain invisibility...
though an audience I must surely engage... Ely

"Though most of my life's work required
costuming...and being ''On Stage''... "
I've set a task for myself doing a "one man poetry show" in June, reciting a smörgåsbord of poetry, starting with Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman" and moving seamlessly through about 20 poems - interspersed by a friend playing guitar to give me the occasional break. Got any tips for being "on stage" (my first time doing this - though have been a univ prof in days gone by).

Tie it in to something familiar...like giving a lesson.
Or if you're more comfortable...stand behind a lectern and read, like Peter Ustinov used to do.
Look him up...see what you think, eh? Ely
