HIGH-WIRE


Watch me juggle
as I walk across the high-wire
and turn into a dove as I fall from the sky
watch me reappear from a black top-hat
under water
as I wriggle out of straight-jacket and chains
watch me levitate
back to the wire
watch me juggle the twenty volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica
as I balance Proust on my head
and begin to answer "The 39 Steps is an organisation of spies, collecting information on behalf of the Foreign Office of..."
watch me crumple
listen to my dying breaths
whispering of Stealth designs

CORDA BAMBA
Observa o meu equilíbrio
quando caminho na corda bamba
e me transformo em pomba a cair do céu
observa-me a reaparecer de uma cartola preta
e como me liberto da camisa de forças e das cadeias
debaixo de água
observa-me a levitar
de regresso à corda bamba
observa o meu equilíbrio sobre os vinte volumes da Enciclopédia Britânica
como balanceio Proust na cabeça
e começo a responder "Os 39 Passos - organização de espiões que processa informação em nome do Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros de..."
observa-me a desmoronar
e ouve a minha última respiração
a sussurrar projectos de invisibilidade

Armando Taborda club has replied to Steve Bucknell clubSorry, I disagree. Your ironic poem doesn't require any further work. It's perfect as such.
