Mitzraki, or, a Haiku on the occasion of that which we call Prom

   Dance to "Earth Angel"
Wear black because I like it
  Vote myself Prom Bitch

School Play or Play School?

Stand here?
Certainly.
Glad to play my part.
Cheerleader?
Nerd?
Jock?
But wait--
what are these lines,
And these strings?
Can't move?
The lights--too bright!
I can't see,
or hear.
But I can think.
And choose a different role--
Ghost!

Stand by your man but do not crush him

A teacher
	of drama?
A Student
	of Life.
	
To Others he is Mr. Johnson,
To his parents he is Steve.

He lets me
	call him.
