Tantric sandwiches

Getting caught breaking curfew
when you're living it up on the
far side of the moon is not a good
look for Walpurgisnacht or Hog-
manay or the Feast Day of Saint
Perpetua or any other rapidly
disappearing local celebration.
Donkeys don't always dance in
tune; & the detritus of past events 
no longer retains the magic it once
was rumored to have. The bus is
running late. Bats clog its head-
lights. The marble cake that the
shelter is made from is unlikely 
to be as tasty as it was said to be
when baked five centuries ago.
