Opera Diva

Young and ebony
She sings opera
Down the YMCA hallway
Young and far from home
My lonely heart needs her
But my madness makes me
Remote as a polar bear
Who lumbers across arctic ice
While in the tundra of the night I roam
To where she does a coffee shop gig
For bread to sing about
In these tropically warmed halls
Where her voice is a passionate torch
In the Denver night

I wonder at the backstory that inspired this, John. Dan
	Romantic, I love my wife, family, and Humanity. I.T. & Telecomm Nerd, I'm back in long-distance telecomm since November 2022. Sci-Fi & Comic-Book super-hero guy, I watch & read all things Marvel, DC, and more. Musically, I listen and futz. Podcastistic Host, I do a YouTube channel. But when my Muse comes to town, I get swept up in a word tornado, and no subject matter can escape...

Back at the Denver YMCA, there was a beautiful African American woman who sang opera while walking down the hallway to her room. Back then both men and women lived in the rooms there. Her music was a night at the opera performed in the YMCA. She was an enchantress.
