Barry Levy Poet Verse

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
