Retirement
painted grin
mouths that move at whim
puppets on a string
pedal step
recital spin
script fed
“X marks the spot”
standing ovation
bow on command
ENCORE
roses in the air
exit the aisle
what a performance
what a show
catch a cab
“ready, set, go”
pull the cover
plump the pillow
hit the switch
fetal formation
crumpled in a corner
painted grin
