CoOpBop
by Will Dockery
I stood on the stage
there are no words.
The music surrounded me
I have nothing left to say.
All I could speak of
was sailing away
putting it all away.
They surround me
they played music.
I looked into their eyes
do they
do they hold the magic.
All I can see is darkness
there are no words.
Nothing but this joke,
I stood on the stage.
These words are nothing
I am nothing.
Nothing here nothing nothing.
No thing.
The source of laughter
further down.
All I could speak of
is this wish to fade away.
