Diaphragms bellow and preen
Phrases turn round and round
Muffled time shuffles toward the exits
Did the writer dig for these lines
Or did they exhume him
Their relevance and my ignorance
Spar through the third act
Then laugh then embrace
-T. Weeks
(A response to “On, on the Same, Ye Jocund Twain!“
After seeing Major Barbara at The Armory)
