Small Stones: Extended Remixes #14

Another one that's more of a variation on the original than an extension.

Sometimes People Clap

I always try to warn them

that this may not entertain.

It's a remnant from the days

when I hid my work from view;

Before I came out as a poet

and admitted to my shame.

I always tell them they won't like it

but sometimes some of them do.

It's still a source of wonder,

it still feels very strange,

to be standing up reciting

what sounds to me like crap.

So I always try to warn them

that I may not entertain

and it comes as some surprise

that sometimes people clap.
