deeper and deeper
the hypnotist begins his act
pendulum sways.
his voice is slow and melodic
“you are getting sleepy”
the next thing I know I hear
“deeper and deeper”
someone takes my hand
leads me to the stage
I am told to skip around like a chicken
and bark like a dog, which I do without thought
this delights my students
I am so suggestable,
They come every year just to see me.
