A Silent Applause 2010 Poem by Terry Collett

A Silent Applause 2010



Watching a woman
eating a muffin today

at the cafe
I thought myself

viewing a show
of performance art,

the way she
broke it apart

in her hands
and lifted

a small piece
to her mouth and ate,

wiping the crumbs away,
with the finger just so

and she so unaware
she was being viewed,

her art performance receiving
a silent applause.
