what makes a night crisp?
outside the theater we drank
in the cool air. waiting for godot.
how large a world on such a small
stage. clouds careen overhead
because they must. the temperature
will drop in two days. the play -- lucky
us to get to wait for a curtain pull and lights,
to get to leave behind a story and go out
to make our own. you are warm as we
walk to the car, arm in arm. later, warm still.
