Pause to Play
Because I could not play for theatre,
it did kindly play for me.
I abhorred the fact that it,
sooner learned to play before I.
Gently it goes,
the poetical,
the rhetorical,
the nonliteral.
The grotesque.
How joyful are operatic performances...
Do they make you shiver?
do they?
I will consider my venue;
to get me wondering,
if pause to play,
was just as lovely
as an empty grave.
