In the Headlights

A bad actor
always
looks down
then bluffs the idea
of what he’s supposed to say
while
everyone
scrambles
to catch up to something
they never
rehearsed

Like a student
who has written
the wrong answers
in the palm
of his hand,
the actor
smiles wide
behind his desk,
thinking himself
the victor
where
none
are
to
be
found.
