“Love me,” he said,
“and we will go to the symphony, and see Broadway,
and see plays and concerts, and we will go to the ballet,
Love me,” he said,
“and sit in red plush seats and hear the musicians play
from the center orchestra, when we go to the ballet,
Love me,” he said,
“and you’ll wear a black evening gown under the moon,
and go to museums and the art will hang in our great room,
Love me,” he said.
