some mensa smart
Ms. Jones
you always seem
to land the same part
acting

play the mystery woman
that nobody's ever known
what is the time now praytell
in your locally tragic circus?

bullseye
you're hard to hit
while you are moving  
around and alone at night

carnival grounds flood with roosters
crowing and announcing first light

spinning target girl
eyes shut you cry while still hoping
that I don't miss with the knives
