A Caste of Mind
Lights dim
the audience
is silent
a giddy anticipation
charges
the antique air
the air is warm
there is a hum
then a soft
buzzzz
louder and louder
one is stung
then another
and another
a swarm
of bees
invades
the calm
shrieks
and chaos
fill the hall
everyone runs
for the exits
ushers stand
dumb
a glower
of darkness
descends
curtain goes up
the stage bursts
with light
and the theater
is
empty
