Isn't that Funny?

Isn't that funny
I got off the stage in L A
tonight, I did two shows
Once club, early in the night
kicked ass. adrenaline high
I made other men and women feel as
good as I felt
What's odd, poetry and comedy are
great releases
walked to car
two guys and a girl beg for autographs
I ain't shit I just talk
Second gig was in two hours
Ben Franks to write

Fat as fancy agent
admiring either my breasts or my menu choice
Sat down to chat
Not an actor
I told him that
but it's tv!
not an actor
I told him
but you'd be good
not an actor
I told him
you'd make us both a lot of money
ay and there's the rub
I left him my check and walked
away unbottoning
my blouse
made him sweat even more
fucking agent

My brain spun on high
permanent press cycle

second show
subconcious mind reigning
got bumped by
Robin or Dice
or some penis or other
I hated the people
They expected to be dazzled
they expected to be starstruck
I was next up
Cofee in hand
He got off stage
seven folks left in the room
too drunk to drive home yet
I had 20 minutes

I forgot to care
I forgot to listen
I forgot why I enjoyed this
I sucked.
They knew it.
I started singing
club owner fired me
I found out who I was
the seven people listened and asked
me to sing another one
I know who I am
