Staring Out

By Sal Ponce

Story of my life
The feature film debut
Handed out flyers
Hung up posters

"The Tragic and Not so Tragic
Story of
Sal Ponce"

Opening night

Nervous beyond beleif
The film reel in hand
(this poem getting worse)
With a click it began
The Counting then the title

90 Minutes Later

House lights up
Doors open

No one comes out
