Dependent

In the part of the musical
where all the plans come together
and the melodramatic swell
of the villain’s cacophony of atrocities
all coalesce into those final
exquisite orchestral soundings
I found myself overcome.

When the band boomed on
and the heroine squealed in fear
there was not a dry eye in the house
nor dry pants in my seat.
I wet myself
over the wonder of the show
peed through that part
of the powerful performance.

It was a strong show,
is what I’m saying.
The orchestra’s playing
the protagonist’s singing
left me losing composure and control.

I can’t say
it’ll be the same for you
but this show might be most appreciated
if you’re already Depends-dependent.
