Barker

am i not
only going
to get up on
a soapbox and
tell you what you

will see be
hind the curtain
but certainly you'll
agree that the pittance
you paid will seem less then

the value
of what you
saw in second
thought after you
left leaving you with

memories  
like a drug
flashback
at any time
or anywhere

your paid penny
entrance fee 
will pay over
and over 
again

so ladies and
gentlemen
step right
up and
see

the beauty that
didn't launch
a thousand
ships but
a beauty

that has had more
then a thousand
poems written 
for her no not 
in stone 

but the
one and
only mi Musa
Diosa Melissa
