Neverending Glory
All the clowns’ faces eaten away by greasepaint, ballerinas’ ruined feet, acrobats’ broken vertebrae, sculptors’ crushed fingers, actors’ coke-induced nasal perforations, solo singers’ teared vocal cords, guitarists’ ripped off fingernails, DJs’ deaf ears, screenwriters’ smoked lungs, painters’ etched lungs, snapped muscles in glassblowers’ faces. All that beauty hurts.
