All poetry, printed with permission, by, Michelle Newbon
From: Musings from an unemployed live events producer...
Production Blues
Screeching to a halt
with the sound of big thunder.
Weâre all wonderingâŠ
how do we not go under?
At first, they were saying
maybe by summer?
Consensus now is 18 months,
Dang, what a bummer.
This whole thing
is seriously $%^#âd.
6 feet apart onsite
Yeah right ⊠and good luck.
I go on Linked In
âcause I know that I should,
perusing it all,
until I donât feel good.
There are all these things
that Iâm supposed to doâŠ
programs as acronyms
to brighten the view.
The PPP and the EIDL.
the SBA and oh what the hell!
I applied and submitted and am standing by,
but have no idea if I should rejoice or just cry.
I make a checklist
at the start of each day
to make me think
that Iâm well under wayâŠ
But then Iâm all done
and itâs eight-thirty-two,
no emails to answer,
and nothing to do.
There are webinars and zoom calls
with industry experts!
I can learn all day long
But why does my brain hurt?
Iâll try not to think about it.
until this thing passes.
Iâll work on my hobbies,
but I feel like molasses.
Just get ahold of yourself,
itâs a brand-new day!
Drink your half capp,
Itâll all be ok!
But why do I feel
that Iâm so under gunned?
Cuz itâs a global pandemic
and this âaint no fun.
Itâs been my way
to end on a good note
but all I can say
is thatâs all she wrote!
Content Ditty
The world of live events
is its own kind of beast.
A ubiquitous allure,
Sucks you in to say the least.
Now add in the Content
and consequences rise.
You think you got this thing?
Success or just demise.
No one wants to do it
way too many details.
At first it seems so easy,
and then itâs off the rails.
With themes and creative,
Writers and graphics
Strategizing nightly,
Its mental gymnastics.
Too many files
with all the wrong names
Drowning in word docs
They all look the same.
What do we name it?
And where does it go?
Email it or post it?
No one seems to know.
Put it on Drop Box
Someone made some folders
Stick in the root,
look for one called âolderâ.
Pre-proâs gaining steam
as we lay down all the tracks,
gonnaâ do this thing Vegas
and we wonât be looking back.
Check in and set-up
and see whatâs transpired
is my inbox intact
or is it on fire?
Then there are rehearsals
and all that that entailsâŠ
go grab all the files
you donât want to fail.
âThatâs the wrong version!
We wrote it last week!â
The tensionâs so strong
Youâre all up a creek.
But prompter is on it
and graphics is too.
Its correct after allâŠ
The production team knew.
The talent is late
and cateringâs a mess
the PAâs stuck in traffic,
but now I digressâŠ
The CEO is here
with a brand-new script
She says no to full-frame
Only wants to PIP.
âAnd oh by the way,
âŠin the DSMs
Current and next please
and some green M & Mâs.â
âMy slides are in progress
⊠4:3 on white
âŠwith a few animations
Just to give it a bite.â
âOh and one more thing
if I do recallâŠ
there might be 2 demos
or likely none at all.â
And so it goesâŠ
Kindling to flames,
Heads are gonna roll,
And someoneâs taking names.
But no matter what
We all do take our cue.
The show it turns out flawless
Thanks to the entire crew.
Flying High
I have no regrets
about wondering ifâŠ
I appreciated enough
whatâs gone over the cliff.
I always knew
how special it was
to be part of it allâŠ
the production team buzz.
How weâd come together
and put on a show.
Weâd build that car
as it drove down the road.
The stress of it all
has always been rife,
but I never imagined
not wanting this life.
The rewards run deep
because of us allâŠ
heeding the siren
and answering the call.
The friendships weâve made
are like family indeed
The alchemy onsite
forging our creed.
To sit here now
knowing what will not be
is to experience grief
and melancholy.
We all understand
that virtual is the way
But weâll never forget
what we had in the day.
You canât get there from here
without being together
We all know that,
we are birds of a feather.
Looking Ahead
Stopped in time
and standing still.
Seeking the view
thatâs over the hill.
Itâs not written
and we donât know,
whatâs ahead
and how to go.
âThe show must go onâ
has always been the way.
We wonât go down.
Weâll have our day.
Weâve been working
since this whole thing
to carve a new path
and make it sing.
Itâs hard to see
through the clouds right now
But Iâll be damned
If we canât figure out how.
Suffice to say
Weâre a hardy lot.
We donât give up,
and we give all weâve got.
Itâs a big F-U
to whatâs gone down
but weâll ride that emotion
to bring it around.
And I guarantee
and pinky swear
that the showâll go on,
thatâs a truth ⊠and a dare.
