The Balcony Scene

                                                            There wasn't room
                                                                   under her
                                                                    balcony
                                                               for a folk song
                                                                performance
                                                                     from a
                                                                  symphony.
                                                              no beat-nik chin.
                                                                   no figaro.
                                                             no Harvest Moon.
                                                                 no do-se-do.

                                                             There wasn't room
                                                                   inside her,
                                                                don't you see?
                                                           She was all filled up.
                                                                  At capacity.
                                                  Once,  their words were so pretty
                                                          then it got pretty mean.

                                       The curtain closed to save them the balcony scene.
