| 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. |
