Audience of One

Peter Blume. The Eternal City. MoMA.
The shadows of day dim
the light, causing the attention
to be taken elsewhere, tired of
waiting for the promised show
to go on, then failing to
see the final surprise.
Too busy talking and running
to pay attention to detail.
Audience of one,
the statues were broken
before the head appeared
taking away the fun
while no one else cared.
