All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.


she will be long gone
in pursuit of the Possibility of
when you find her fingerprints on the perfume
half-tangled
on the tightrope to a new game
on a race to Supposedly

she will sleep in tomorrow
with her Talent for starting fires
and mouth of a bow and the snake’s tongue
half-guessing
knowing She found her message
in MAC C20

and she will know at once
the missteps you and She made
roses by another name smell very different
almost-regretful
your one eye saved for Her
“go screw yourself, Romeo.”
