The score board tells it all.
 
By the shattering sound—
 
the wine glass frequency.
 
Then a silhouette peaks through a crack in the wall.
 
No I don't think I can handle here,
 
I said I don't think I can handle here.
 
Constance, dear.
 
I'm there to go,
 
by the back I'll sew—
 
Me up and through.
 
Just pull us two?
 
From the strings I grind
 
my teeth, your kind
 
Of place.
 
My chair
 
is next to you.
