Melbourne candid series #1308 Flinders St

 


One wheel, one man, one questionable plan
a blade in the air like a punchline that ran.

He balances bravely on physics’ thin thread,
while common sense quietly shakes its head.

A flick of the wrist, a grin slightly wild,
half circus performer, half reckless child.

If gravity’s watching, it’s holding its breath
for comedy, courage, and near-miss with death.


Pentax K20D

    Wow, that guy has some skills. I would stand aside given the looks of that blade.
