on the curtain at the Met,
keep New York an illusion,
make myth of soot and snow.
The bottles pop below, and I smile,
safe in the third ring, alone
and anonymous. An older woman
calls me brave, and I have to laugh.
There may be bravery in ballgowns
and unescorted stilettos, but
even Cinderella started stag.
