A Balloon Came Down
I am the Amazon
beneath these curtains.
Disregard everything in front.
I am gigantic and horrible-
all 150 inches of me.
Just ask those kids.
I am a lunatic magician,
a no-nonsense woman with an opinion
on popularity.
I am queer.
It has taught me the universal value
of wonder.
I am X-ceptionally you-nique.
I am OZ.
