GENRE-NEUTRAL
The curtain is closing.
The judges will not be available for questions.
Please exit the stage.
We cannot assist you with your chronic issues with
irrelevance.
Our judgment cannot exonerate your
vanity.
Others are waiting.
We will not be accepting your
tiny emergency as
an object of comparison.
You are too estranged from your own
condition to bear the guidance
of our expertise.
Furthermore,
your interest in art is invalid.
The management does not care for
your continued appeals to
emotional context.
We prefer not to get facts tied up
in the business of opinion,
especially in the case of
a first impression.
Please exit the stage.
It is an error to presume that vulnerability
is sufficient to incite courage.
Hot lights do not beget applause.
We commend your hesitation to retreat
from the brink of ambition; however,
your position is growing weaker.
Please do not make eye contact with the audience.
They will not be dwelling on the
completeness of your defeat.
Instead, exit the stage.
We are touched by your obstinacy.
Your average desire has led you to a place
of special insignificance.
Cherish your loss. It is
the closest you may ever find yourself
to holy convergence. But now
you must exit the stage.
Your trial is over.
