A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 78

Day 78: “Oh, Theater!”


The theater is a place

Where you can be someone else for a time

A moment


You can watch something serious

Or sad

Or funny


And be immersed in it


Real life? What’s that

The only real life is Mary Todd Lincoln’s obsession with cabaret and Abe Lincoln’s obsession with men and John Wilkes Booth’s obsession with Abe Lincoln


The theater is a magical place
