Witness The Great Wallenda, an aging
high wire artiste, who, for his final act,
required technology’s summation –
tv, automobiles, bottles of plasma;
crossed a canyon on cable thin as a wrist;
walked on wire a quarter of a mile
above the earth. He stood, twice, on his head
and the crowds of thousands gasped, then cheered,
the noise muffled in that oh! profound gorge.
