The theater walls are empty
a dark red brick wall reflects desolation
stage drops hanging as
beehives
invaded by bedbugs.
Awakening in the drops container
I see
the back stage lights are star flashing
the sound of a new message echoes from the audience to the stage walls
and back
SWCHHH
another missile
now on an undefined target.
Women pictures adorn the surrounding walls
in order of appearance
Cameron, (H)elen(a), Kate, Drew, Ally(da), Farah, Lucy, Jaclyn, Cheryl, Dylan, Alex, Natalie, Jill, Kris
Slide-Stars-Show.-Bombing.-Killing
My name is Charlie, also known as
Little Boy.
Good morning, angels!
Good morning, Charlie!
Enola Gay
Public address speaker giving orders
sending people on mission
to where?
the show must go on so let's replace
the stars
Two minutes to go towards the objective
SWCHHH
another missile
now on a specific target.
Listen, Bosley this is not soap
not even Police Academy
Its war man...Its war...
The backstage lightning
turns to be anti-aircraft guns
it's high time to wake up
facing reality
checking what
guns and angels
angels and me
My name is Charlie
the angels are gone
theater seats are empty
Box Office closed
today's show cancelled
the technician died in his drop box
Bye Charlie!
...
SWCHHH
Bye angels!
