Constructive Criticism
Learning a receptive attitude

Present front and center
limp but rigid
like a mannequin
eyes unfocused
every fingertip touch
each nodded instruction
inhabiting me
background processing
not taking action
action takes me
across the floor
muscle memory in action
practice
makes progress
perfect practice
makes perfect
perfection the goal
no one achieves
