The Beehive
Interval
A release of conversation
Above me
Dvorak lingers in the blue mushrooms
~
Theatre smell
Music dust in crushed burgundy
Climbing the stairways
To the halftime bars
~
I sip overpriced whiskey
Amid a peck of cheek kisses
Murmur of nothing talk
and the fog of stale Chanel
~
She stands by the window drapes
Isolated by beauty
I engage her
With the price of a smile
~
Elgar easy on the lifting strings
As the Nimrod casts it spell
Oblivious
To two empty seats
Note: The Royal Albert Hall is nicknamed ‘The Beehive’ and the blue mushrooms are sound disks usually back lighted in blue and mounted on the high ceiling.
