Promiscuity at its greatest
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
Tonight we have spectacular event for you
A crossroads of ignorance!
Where two fragile minds intercept
and the aging innocence is lost beneath the sheets.

Come one, come all (and please excuse the pun)
but when ignorance is bliss
and sexuality is comforting
Who is to say they can't do otherwise?

Spectacular, Spectacular,
Please take your seats, for we're ready to begin,
and don't forget to visit our snack bar!
These two kids have no idea what they're getting into.
A car crash of desires, a chessboard without tactics,
a myriad of elements spontaneously combusting.

Spectacular.
Dare you dream of the possibilities?
You were never ready for this.
I was never ready for this.

Come one, come all (and please excuse the pun)
Get ready to witness the loss of happiness,
as our stars perform without a net!

I like the voice, I like the situation, but the ending, for some reason, doesn't satisfy. Perhaps it's too direct?

Beautiful piece of work!  I'd look at adding a comma or two for reading rhythm.  It is great to my ear but took a couple of out loud reads to get it right.

Sound wise, this seems to have it all; assonance, dissonance, consonance.  Shift in tone wise?  Hey, you're the poet!

Best, Jim
