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.
