Autobiographia Literaria Remix
By Sanyelly Tapia (and Frank O’Hara)

When I was a dancer

I played professional dancer in a

corner of the empty stage

all alone.

I hated practicing by myself and I

Hated acting as if people were watching, my friends were

not friendly and always

pushed me away.

If my teacher was looking

for me I hid behind a curtain

and cried out “ Im not perfect,

why do I keep trying?.”

And here I am, the

Master of all the dancers!

Practicing these routines!

Imagine!
