Poetry: Plan

It's something special
We should do something
Then let us plan
Okay, plan time underway
Plan 1
Scratch that, plan 2
Scratch that too, plan 3
Modify that to plan 3.0
Okay but add music
That or this?
This
Okay now we need a cast
How many?
5-10
How about 15
Works

Assemble a crew
Assembled but
But what
Half won't respond
Not showing up?
Correct
They need to practice to partake
Indeed, so let's get more crew
1/3 crew dropped out
New crew is also unresponsive
Dedicated ones all have a mind for what they want
Reassemble plan into plan 4
Hate plan 4, plan 5
Crew won't do plan 5, they offer plan 6
Plan 6 is unrealistic, modify to plan 6.0
Crew overthrows new plan, plan 7
We agree on plan 7

Practice
Practice times have changed
New and old practice times are getting confusing
Messages are all private between single parties
Not a uniform idea for how to do this
Old crew that dropped comes back
Modify them into plan 7
Single practice time where all show up
No responses
They say "yes" but don't do
Practice time just for 1/4 group

Show up day of performance hours early
All the crew is there
Practice once
That was crap
Practice again
That was also crap
Close enough
Time for the show

Wait
Wait
Wait
Wait
Perform (5 minutes tops)

Dinner after?
Wait a while
Wait a while
Wait a while
Get food
Eat in 10 minutes
Talk
Talk
Talk
Bored
Bored
Bored

Time to go home.

Was it worth it?
Does it matter?
We'll do it again next year.
