Little Theatre...

The play is good,
really good.
Percy, very shy
Cyrenne, a prostitute
and Ricky, a rough one.
set in the 1960's
on a one night stand.
Gold curtains
black stage
spotlight on the stairs.
A cool breeze
slipping through a
small crack of the
slightly opened windows.
A single Theatre programme
lying crumpled on the floor...

Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic." Anais Nin
