Sunday Matinee MAG
May 3, 2015
Life is a theatre program
that your wife dragged you to,
for it was with no desire of your own
that you wished to arrive here,
among the musty chairs
and dusty audience,
squinting through the murky dark,
but how could you say no to that face?
That darling face that outshines any spotlight
when a look of earnest wonder becomes its backdrop?
So you stay,
sitting like everyone but the actors
who frolic with flourish and timed emotions atop their lines,
and you sit,
unaware of the hidden door inside your chest,
waiting for its cue.
