TheaterA Poem by J. C. Koch
For a second your there
In your theater seat Dying for the show to start Chewing on something sweet Then the lights go down And the curtains draw The show is beginning Prepare to be in awe The actors on the stage Move and dance and sing Lights flash and music rises Till your eyes blur and ears ring And then you are lost In the story unfolding onstage Real life is left behind Like a story on a different page Till the final standing ovation Their world is your own And then you are back again to the world you've always known
