I didn’t
begin to focus
on numeric dates
until after
I married
my husband.
I chronicle my tales
in photographic scripts
and microfilms
I play via
my third eye
when I feel
discombobulated.
My bi-product
trifecta has always
held steadfast
between
music
poetry
& advocacy
I’m in my element
when all three
are simultaneously
present.
I could see all facets
present as a spectator
of my first musical theatre
experience. A family member
held an AMEX card
which meant our tickets
were centre stage
seven
rows
back
from the
main stage
approximately
one month after
it opened in Toronto
at The Pantages Theatre.
I genuinely
fell in love
with every aspect
of that production,
to the point
my Phantom of the Opera
CD’s are still snug
in my carrier.
At one point
a M.A.S.S.I.V.E.
and quite glorious
chandelier
rose and floated
above our heads.
I was in complete awe
as the visual aspect
of this performance
enhanced
the musicality.
to this day,
I can’t help it,
I constantly sing Angel of Music,
Christine’s Soprano voice
renders my body
in a constant state
of electricity.
