“Proscenium Panther by Stewart Stafford
The actor missed his line,
Whispers from the wings,
Deafening silence hanging,
Another cue came briskly.
A pregnant pause of years,
The frozen player’s lips moved,
Offstage, a mock post-mortem,
The thespian grinned impishly.
After the audience’s first line laugh,
He racked his brain for more jokes,
Flouting the text and all the cast,
O, limelight, of hot-headed hydras.

“An organizational structure carries inherent capabilities as to what can be achieved within its frame.”
