stage fright

your audience awaits you.
man, I can't do it.
what do you mean? you're on!
I can't go out there.
you can do it! you're brilliant! you'll be great!
It's just too much. I can't handle it.
why not?
I just think that burlesque is a dying art.
nonsense! look at them! waiting out there!
and these giant feathers? it's ridiculous.
you use what you were born with.
I know, but whoever heard of a stripping chicken?
don't get your beak in a bunch. go lay an egg.
easy for you to say.
those roosters will love you, henny penny.
maybe the sky will fall on them.
now don't start that again.
