.
He sighed …
.
F**k, if he didn’t sigh -
Pouring away relief,
Timbered suspiration
And chambered disbelief.
.
He sighed the way men sigh
As if they’d just narrowly escaped
Attendance and a front-row seat
To the performance of a lifetime -
.
Showing at the local theater
And under the signed Marquee:
.
.
First come first Served
.
A Firing Line
.
All day Matinée 
.
.
Lord, how he sighed …
Lord. Lord.
.
As if he’d only just dodged the guillotine,
Been handed then a sword, 
Bypassed the arena 
And then made it home from court.
.
.
Stars …
He thanked his lucky stars;
Signed his chest to Mary
And then marked the holy trinity 
.
With the sleeves along his arms.
.
.
