Dollhouses and other Miniature Worlds for May 25th in the MMXXV spring show . . .

meandering on air as the little boy rides out the door on his new tricycle as somewhere backstage the giraffes crane their necks higher . . . in the next two scenes and not enough time to escape anywhere and come back . . . the fog machine going like mad and hardly able to breathe . . . better than the one last year though that made everyone look neon pink when the house lights went back up . . . weeks it took to scrub it off even with that smelly stuff from the aquarium store . . .
