Chloe's Dramatic Exit

People sat, enchanted. 
Stood, the old magician,
on the stage, then hovered  
over Chloe reposing 
in the smoke.  His whiskers,
painted lilac purple, 
and his face, a crimson
red, with garish azure 
eyes projecting madness
packed inside enigma.

Chloe was gone (abruptly)!  
Reappeared a moment
later, as the smoky 
air on stage was clearing.
Chloe was nervous, laughing,
"Sorry had to tinkle."
