Revised Interpretation Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Rushing to re-write a script,
Already publicly...
The star of the cast,
Quoted lines from it.
Gives those backstage no time,
To close dropped jaws.
Or pause.
Hoping that a captivated,
And mesmerized audience...
Will still stand and applaud,
A shifting done quickly...
Of a revised interpretation.
To be convinced,
What was heard was not meant.
Since the script presented...
Had been vague in content.

'The audience.
They seem to be,
Absolutely in love with this.
What is it that I'm missing,
That the audience cheers? '

-The explanation...
Of any,
Unintended misunderstanding...
They perceived to be meant,
For them to comprehend.-
