Deserters
Title says it all.


Deserters

What, leaving so soon?
red on black sign exclaims,
perhaps indignantly;
the theatre dark but vivid,
still breathing with the crowd.

No truck with furtive leavers here,
ducked down and sneaking through,
yet trailed by muttered protest:
“Hey, mind my foot!”
and shameful pleas for pardon.


Line count: 10
