juggling skills

bored with life

i take up juggling.

i start off light and easy

with

rubber balls

then work my way up

to small animals,

frogs and gerbils.

i work in a few knives

and chain saws

as i get better,

then go with burning

torches.

shards of pointed glass.

people are amazed

at my juggling skills,

especially sally, and betty

and thelma,

knowing how poor i was

at juggling them.
