Sonnet unlocked!

(or, Sneaking into Photonics 206, Years Later)

Now I ascend this long-deserted stage
Reflecting on the future I once wanted
The place where years ago I came of age
Transformed into an empty playhouse haunted
Proscenium beset by bosom ghosts
I nearly can behold your noble visage
I deftly counter-strike my friends’ ripostes
But really it is just an afterimage
I clear my throat and hold my head on high
The audience would hear a penny drop
I think of all the friends I loved and I
Vociferate my deep Barbaric Yawp
How many other places truth be told
Still clutch so many pieces of my soul?
