Transitory termination can be a good thing
fountains kaleidoscope skyward human canon ball flies, rips through haze, dry ice rising, filling ceiling space to cushion the tightrope walker who trips frantically clawing the wire, her legs thrashing popcorn singed air, the snap echoing round a cadaverous crowd, her head hit the ground, she might live they said. Sit and fidget for five, stand and leave, sombre for a while walk the mile and ride the Whirlwind, speed air joy a spinning blur, feeling lucky, looking forward hoping, hearing the steam of rides hissing, loafing and laughing, later getting drunk.
