The Audience Falls Silent
The biggest show in Vegas.
There’s not one empty seat.
No bad acts to plague us.
The night has been replete
with singers and with dancers who move with skillful feet.
Now has come the last act. Everyone agrees
it’s the biggest one that is in store.
Blindfolded, two are daringly swinging by trapeze.
The audience falls silent. What for?
In shock, we watch the fallen one, bleeding on the floor.
