Read the excerpt from "Constantly Risking Absurdity (#15)” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

the poet like an acrobat

climbs on rime

to a high wire of his own making

What does the high wire in this poem most likely symbolize?

the audience’s first impression of a poem
the beauty created by the words in a poem
the chances a poet takes when writing a poem
the poet’s satisfaction after finishing a poem
