14 | Black Hole Big Top by Scott Hvidsten
A black hole big top
came through town peddling Schwarzschild
singularities
Professor Stephen
yelled as a sideshow barker
hawking radiation
on a circled stage
lit by the luminescent
hot particle jets
we saw quantum twins
spring forth from a void with such
immense gravitas
it vanished before
our eyes in holographic
evaporation
