"Pow"
Incessently spinning, balanced
on the second vertebrae past
his hoodie - historicity
the spin lasts forever
til he pops arched feline style, up
and snap - backupside down
in a handstand pose
People cluster, circling
keeping hollowed performance space
free, filled with invisible energy
jumping twirling bomabarding
tapping off one audience member
and zipping to the next as they focus on the center
sixty-two year old shopkeeper
high school basketball bench-warmer
yamaka-frocked father
his daughter, ten and wide-eyed
"Pow" pause
"pow" "POW"
curiosity creates tighter
spirals of vitality -
energy shared, charged -
one time, one space
just on the edge of containment and explosion
