Stage Fright

Oh.
Stop.
Ready.
Breathe.
One, two.
Three, four.
Lights light on.
Take it all inside.
Nervous shuffling.
Pull your sleeves up.
Start the fingers going.
Play that tune, harmony.
Accompaniment, left hand.
Crescendo, trill, staccato, rest.
Accelerando, turn, counterpoint.
Almost there, the crux, fortississimo!
Decresdendo, tenuto, ritardando.
Fortepiano, piano, pianissimo.
Ritardando again, then stop.
Rest now, the end is here.
Steady your crazy heart.
Standing, from sitting.
Take your last bow.
Think about it all.
Did it go well?
If not, okay.
That is all.
Endings.
Finale.
Stop.
Oh.
