‘Book of Mormon’ is rollicking hot,
two-by-two dancing, rude - but (like) fun.
Andrew and I absorbing the plot
- when a sweet girl starts a honeydew song.
Wide open – an innocent snowball
of pure hope and sun in the morning.
Every note touching bellies and throats,
melting jaundice, judgment, disjoints;
singing from heart in a little face
sweet as dates, light as a veil.
At the interval, engagement is deep:
a tie at the ball, champagne pops.
Andrew holds a fizzy lemonade
nodding around, clear as a cat
‘I’ll marry that girl in the pink dress,
She’s just like me – she is me!’
and I wring small tears ‘I see, my son, I
see.’
glance away – too keen to agree.
