Standing on the stage
overlooking the crowd
and I smile,
a small smile
knowing what they want
but wanting to make them wait
loving and needing
the low hum
that begins
a sea of cell phone
latter-day lighters
in the dark room
the crowd chants
those two words
I know are coming
And I close my eyes
listening, just listening
and preparing myself
as the crowd chants
"free verse free verse"
