Lever' de rideau: Curtain Raiser!

lever' de rideau
preceding the main
performance, characters
in pomade, perfumed ointment
dressing the hair - ah but it is a fragrant
curtain raiser preceding the main play in
attendance by the unhallowed multitude, the
profane mob crying for a shut down -

censor the theatrical
witch, scintillant, stradivarius
sparks shooting from the violin
strings ricocheting off stage tits
and bulleted nipples, music hotter
than dyke hell, the marquee outside
on the theater front keeping in time with
the inside searing performance, lesbian
broadway lights up the boulevard,

the mob and their
stramonium drug from
the dried leaves of jimson
weed for the treatment of their
asthmatic attack, choking for air
brought on by rapid shock of bawdy
intercourse - the stage of strapped sex,
phalli bobbing like cock heads ruffled, prairie
chickens strutting to the next available gopher hole,
take a hint, you didn't have to buy your ticket.
