He spat with high contempt
and requires its place
One minute of silence ... not a second more
the fear of falling - the excitement is palpable
Tears pressed behind his eyes,
and there was a painful lump in his throat
The audience has lost interest
the champagne bottles are emptied
The hermetic silence
heavy and raw
With an old airplane helmet
from the First World War
pressed down over his ears
Adult boys do not cry
Audience armed with eggs and rotten tomatoes
As watching lions play with a mouse
