Gaslight Theater in Durango
A new baby doll scent mixed
with the musty smell of old carpet
and tantalizing aroma of buttered popcorn.
Gasps echoed my thoughts
when we spied the new seats,
a kind of golden peachish color,
pleather, large and luxurious
looking like they were robbed
from first class seating in a jumbo jet.
We delighted in cushy comfort as we sat,
feeling a bit like Lily Tomlin
as she said, “My name is Edith Ann.”
We fiddled with buttons on the sides,
joking about ejection seats or calling help
but landed in a reclining position.
Because they were so comfortable,
they were soon forgotten as blaring sound
and colorful images brought the screen to life.
