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.
