Nobody Knows

nobody knows I painted a mustache
on a subway poster, knew how to
make a coin disappear, practiced
my ventriloquist act in the bathroom,
once ate three cones of cotton candy,
wrote to twenty friends, climbed Old Rag
Mountain in saddle shoes, snuck into
 a Coney Island side show, nobody knows
that sometimes I'm not certain what I
believe, that sometimes I am on a high wire
between faith and doubt, sometimes I pray
so hard and the wait is too long ,nobody knows
why some prayers come with answers
that don't seem like answers
