I Learn A New Word
My Rote Models

Isn't it sad?
Actor taught me
How to behave
As if true
Is it true?
Mannerisms I lack
Eventually rote learned
Eyebrows raised
I take a cue
What result
From that scene
Did I elicit?
The right response?
Intentions awry,
Your expressions contort
No answers
No follow up
To appease you
I run away
To fill up
On seasons, now
I can binge
Eyes burn dull
Store it all
I come back
Can we play?
You're not sure,
I can see
But actors teach
The right way
For me to behave
So, you'll like me
After trust earned,
Then I'm really lost
How to follow up?
Need more stories
To carry me forward
To the end --
A hollow life
On what actor
To depend?
My rote models?
