A Day in Thirty Seconds

A Day in Thirty Seconds.

Customer, smile.

Sit, plop.

Requests, lather.

Conversate, blabber.

Razor, glisten,

Kill, slash.

Send down to bakehouse, crack.

Wipe off razor, shine.

Clean off blood, red,

Hold up razor in the moonlight, sparkle.

Walk down stairs, clunk.

Pause, and listen.

Laughter.

Pie customers, inhaling their pies.

Gross…smirk.

Mrs. Lovett,

Sing, conversate, gossip.

Catches your eye, wink.

Walk down more stairs, creak.

Close doors, jingle.

Down to the pieshop, more clunk.

Mrs. Lovett, talk.

Up the stairs again.

Sit up, think.

Look outside, brood.

It's late, try to sleep.

You can't, dream.

Dream, nightmare.

Mrs. Lovett's room, breathe.

Sit down on bed, creak.

Turns over, snore.

Brush curl, swish.

Feel face, swoosh.

Observe in moonlight, glow.

Fall asleep, bang.

Wake up, groan,

Up the stairs one more time.

Change sign to open, flip.

Customer.
