Acrobat

Rain taps against
the glass.  My ribs feel like
I have become an acrobat in
a circus.

Today I am
in the greatest show on earth;
boy, the
the years just fly by don't they?

Why wasn't it just yesterday
when I purchased my new pink car?
And the clown shoes to match?
My mother and father would have
been so proud,

but they are in the hospital
recovering from a cannon ball
explosion.
