A little lightheaded

at the Open Mic tonight

Too much strong coffee

or something worse?

How to tell?

Do we really want to know?

Would it be better just to

fall over and have others

take care of me? Nah!

That would cause trouble

for my family and friends

Would it be better to just

fade away to find out  

what really comes next

or not find out?

All in all,

I think I’ll pass on  

all the options

I feel pretty good right now
