the science of respirationi would spend my fifteen minutes  shaking,  sweating under the hot spotlights  and fidgeting.  i would look out at you, trembling  and you would mouth  it's all right, it's just me.  i would imagine then that the whole room was empty--  this vast arena, constructed to dwarf me,  quiet save for two pairs of lungs.  (mine would be labored; yours, calm.  
we are embodied by our lungs.)  in this fifteen minutes,  robbed of an audience and grateful,  i would take a breath  more gasp than breath,  merely to fill my lungs with the human sensation  of air.  i wo the science of respiration

She can feel the wide bright circle of the lights around her, and the curious gazes of the people in the crowd, resting on her skin. They are watching her, but for some reason she is not afraid, until she realizes that they are waiting.

WinningOn the screen,  On the cover  Of a DVD,  The pictures are  Ones that show me.   
I'll see my name  On that book,  And my picture on the back,  With that little biography  On the cover flap.   
When dreams become  A reality,  I'm what I'll hear,  I'm what I'll see.   
I'll go to my book signing  Then to my premiere,  I'll wave to the people  And enjoy my career.   
As an author,  Most revered,  Poetry and short stories,  My forte,  While as an actress,  A superstar,  Traveling to places  So unknown an Winning
