Malcolm

When Malcolm leaves the theatre

he likes to pretend he is one of the dancers.

He flings his scarf 

around his neck 

and he strides

through the Stage Door.

A crowd of fans

 are waiting outside.

They separate as he floats past,

nose in the air...

Excuse me

Let me pass 

Important person coming through.

They excuse him.

They let him pass.

They are waiting for

 Alessandra Ferri

 and David Wall

not for Malcolm

or Julian

or me.
