The Morning Rapist

The call has come in...
Tonight's script has been written...
Roles are understood.

My co-star arrives;
She's unable to perform.
The show must go on.

The script's been thrown out.
I, alone, take center stage;
All focus on me.

My co-star adapts;
She makes sure I perform well.
The show's a success.

What a performance!
Those in the room yell, "Encore!"
I'm glad to oblige.

My co-star prepares.
This time, I know what to do;
I will take control.

Another success.
I leave it all on the stage.
Exhausted, I bow.
