what light shineth in yonder window, yo

if you read enough Shakespeare,
immersing yourself
in the dialogue,
or go to a play,
or watch a movie
of Hamlet or Macbeth
you begin to talk like that
the whole day.
you put a cape on, 
strap a sword
around your waist.
you bellow at the moon,
at ghosts
in the hallways,
you make long soliloquies
on life and death,
you question your existence,
you mourn for love,
you cry out for Juliet.
you swoon.
it's all very annoying to the people
around you.
