The Ventriloquist
The therapists would have a field day—
Oh, it just allows him to share everything he’s
Heretofore never been able to say!
In the beginning it’s a barrage
Of insult jokes and long suppressed
Bitter truths. But that gets old.
One evening he comes onstage
Without his wooden doppelganger
All night, it’s gratitude and kindnesses!
Yes, his lips seem to be moving
But everyone knows
It’s only the thoughts of the dummy
