The dancer slows her frantic pace. In pain and desperation,. Her aching limbs and downcast face. Aglow with perspiration. . Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,.
Living on a lighted stage. Approaches the unreal. For those who think and feel. In touch with some reality. Beyond the gilded cage. . Cast in this unlikely role.
Midway hawkers calling. "Try your luck with me". Merry-go-round wheezing. The same old melody. A thousand ten cent wonders. Who could ask for more?. A pocketful of silver.
