It’s down to the last minute again
Keep your eye on the brass ring
as carousel horses gallop
past it one more time
reaching for that cool metal
as it brushes the tip of your finger.
Under the striped canopy,
cirque du soleil spinning on silk.
Forget the ring. It’s only brass.
Get it together, girl, go for the gold
and slap a star on a photo finish.

Thank you. I tell myself daily – Get it together, Girl!
