Impressions of Improv (a haiku sequence)
(After attending one class and seeing one show)
They start with a word
Then create a universe
No one leads all lead
From nothing a play
Beginning middle and end
And it all makes sense
They know what to say
No wisdom of the staircase
All follows somehow
In middle of scene
Out of the blue something new
Minds and bodies dance
Wonder what happens
When simultaneously
Two ideas collide
This group -- no women
Sometimes misogynistic
Wonder if they care
In flow of moment
Uncensored mind can offend
Can I avoid this?
