Child Performers (For Arixsandra Libantino)
Almost incredible
How some child performers
Nowadays storm the stage
Of big talent shows
One moment there is the child
And the next, this thing
Tearing the house down
To a screaming, standing ovation
After which the child reappears
Seemingly unaware
Of the shockwaves it has sent
All over the world
And right through my heart
