Has His Mother Seen His Act

ring of fire dancer is skimpily clad with tall fur lined boots if flames catch his loin cloth everything will be revealed I stare at the dancer’s tummy, noting his belly button. He has a mother. Has she seen his act? He catches me staring at his naval. I wonder what he thinks I am staring at. We give each other enormous grins. I look away, embarrassed now.
