ballerina Chaplin

Posted to Action Poetry




teetering grace
balanced on a pinhead
reciting tao te ching
tongue in cheek
fakir nailed and tied

batik for brains
patchouli sense
roller coaster culture queen
been there, done that scene
twisted open-ender

a Ballerina Chaplin
wizardly cool
impressionist, pointilist
between dotted speech
she has a lot to teach

turn the key
she'll rotate
breathing deep
of life and farce
vaudevillian jubilee
hot sauced invariably
icon of taste
