An Illusion... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the crazy part of me
also entertains an illusion,
do not mind me,
it happens to everybody

imagine a musician
playing his cello and then
after his piece the audience
stands in ovation shouting
bravo! bravo! bravo!

what an inspiration and
here i am, do not mind me,
it happens to everybody,
after this piece, i hear my
audience clapping shouting
bravo! bravo! bravo!

oh it is funny, but mind you,
it happens to everybody,
and just for the heck of it,
somehow, we can say,
what a life! what a silly dream!
