​The delicious joy of seeing a well-crafted play
A world where language and literature
Rain and reign

Humans form new worlds
Out of rubble
Nothing more than bodies
Strips of fabric and wooden boxes
Splashes of light
Everyday objects are lobsters and caterpillars and creatures of the dark
Silky white rose petals fall from the sky
Are painted red by light
The musicians wet their lips and
Play

How art can rescue us in times of trouble
See us through
See through us

Worlds of make believe
Inside a concrete jungle
Full of trash and tourists
The glittering towers radiate supreme wealth
While fellow humans
Make beds of cardboard on the sidewalk
