The night was young, hot-blooded and fun – filled with terror and delight so much so we lost our sight,in the misty 1 am fog of Troy, New York’s relentless cogs turning and turning with our passionate yearning The corner store was our quest and I love’s was our hold where our tales of liquor…

NOTICE: You don’t                                                                 make sure to be precise – care for your trash – care for your recyclables – remember it’s Tuesday wrapping leaves wake you when trash of yours returns visiting in the 5am light of upstate New York                            with his satisfaction and your ribs,                                                                         your ribs,                                                                         your ribs,          break beneath…

(Thunder crashes, Charlie sits downstage left, enter Rosie through the bedroom door)She was quiet like the calm of a storm and took center stage with a raging silence unbeknownst to Charlie.
