Sounds Carry Uphill

And in the midst of a crowd it can be hard to hear yourself think.

A red toy airplane buzzing overhead
Frisbee right behind us.
Soccer. Scene change. And the jets roar by.
Fireworks make me five again. White weeping willows in the sky.

I ran across the field, thinking they were over, only to find myself driving away from the finale.

I cannot believe you lied to me and said you had stopped writing poems. You are a nut and I love the poems... so very you.

the show was so lovely, i was thrilled to see it. and comforted to see shakespeare can still be fun and accessible and so, so very engaging to so many (even as a red plane buzzes overhead!).
