The curtain might rise anywhere on a single speaker
I met in Mesilla
The Cautious Gunslinger
of impeccable personal smoothness
and slender leather encased hands
folded casually
to make his knock.

There is your domain.
is it the domicile it looks to be
or simply a_retinal block
of seats in,
he will flip the phrase
the theater of impatience.
