burke: SONNETS IN CANBERRA

They are presently rehearsing
the Complete Shakespeare Sonnets
for a LIVE reading in Canberra.
'shall I compare thee to a theatre night?'
Wow, over 3 hours of
iambic pentameter - and
right in the heart of Australia's
Democratic Soapbox. May those
with a hand on the throttle
listen and pay heed:
Brevity packs a 14 line punch.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
     So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
