Quiet Spell

Cast
(in order of appearance)
by
David Bogomolny (db), Melissa Lemay (ml), Lesley Scoble (ls),

db:     office overtime ~
          paid to ponder ideas
          ~ over hot coffee 

ml:     gazing out at the street
          watching cars drive by

 ls:     all is dead quiet
          but for his fingers drumming
          a devil’s tattoo

db:     boulas  beat  faintly nearby
           Baron Samedi  has  me 

ml:     frog paperweight
           I imagine     being
           a princess

ls:      I spin round and round and round
          In my brand-new voodoo chair
