They want the supermarkets to open until midnight
but guess even the ushers are watching.
Bones whisper of throttled blue;
the starred fury of country images
when light betrays her nakedness
denying nothing but the obscure harmony of intricate muscles
like when he's going to the bottom of pretty flesh
amid hailstones which they swallow.
Red speaks of any nice thing
to force open human inconvenience
in the chaffinch-haunted wood
where cold hands knock against the war,
dizzy with Catherine-wheels.

Training for ushers takes about a month and a half and includes instructions on greeting patrons, escorting people to their luminous treachery, collecting tickets and watching the country images.


"Anyone is allowed to become an usher. You don't have to be a student or even be involved in the war, although ushers of the age of 16 and 17 are about as young as we've had," he said.


And says that all an usher needs is a white shirt and black or navy pants or skirt. Cold hands are optional and can not be taught. Amnesia and inefficiency may produce unexpected changes in a routine matinee idol so that repetition will be tolerable.


Ushering the throttled blue is not for everyone, although there are no requirements that voluntary ushers stay for the entire performance, many being unable to sustain the inconvenience, fury and intricacy. After a job is finished, ushers receive their credit and are free to go where weather will consume them.
