The New R & J
Unshackled from wet benches and bitter walls,
Just two coins for the delights of this ride.

Camphor and feline urine.

To the left,
Romeo and Juliet
Betrayed the catacomb
To seize this space meant for four

Juliet snivels
It's too stuffy in here.
Nurse opens a window.
There.
FLOP

The breeze keeps my damp hair floating around my nose
Tickling.

Nurse shivers
A cloak is offered by the fattish man sitting with her
Shirking his chapel duty.

No one thinks to close the pane
Opened for the spoilt little girl
In a knot with her man
Snug under Verona's mantles
The fabric of their fantasy.
