High Wire and Sword Swallowing Combined

For Karen Frazier

Her daydreams, opposite of tight-rope stunt

And stunt are looseness, fantasies of cocks.

She yanks her tights off.  Men invade her cunt

And other holes when schlongs are freed.  Love cocks

They aren’t.  They’re lust and semen dicks above

The other women’s daydreams.  Tight-wire steps

Result in slutty falls.  She falls and, shove,

Her asshole’s javelined.  She takes fire steps,

Desiring falls, so all her holes are lanced

By fleshly weapons while the crowds look on.

They ooh and ahh because they never chanced

Like her.  They wanted love while she took brawn.

  The Big Top takes on mythic meaning here.

    Subconscious takes in rape.  She swallows fear.
