American Theater

I wasn't Audrey Hepburn...but I was pretty
in my black sequined bandeau
and long black taffeta skirt that rustled
as I hurried down the stairs looking for you
saying,"excuse me, excuse me"
I finally found a seat in the crowded cinema
but you were nowhere
and it wasn't the movie I wanted
you were my mission
you left clues
in the lobby
popcorn couldn't comfort me
the butter would ruin
my pretty black dress...
