all the human circuses are pouring into town

my friend
said

all the human circuses
are pouring into town …

the bendy one
who is everyone’s best friend

the lion tamer
who creates the illusion of safety

the acrobat
who keeps us enthralled with spectacle

the ringmaster
who commands the space

the freak
who makes us feel normal


and let us not forget
the clown

as all the human circuses
are pouring into town …

it's the shiny-nosed
wide-wild eyed

ill-fitting clothed
flat -footed 

falling off  their stool
crazy dude

who convinces us
that we are not fools

[ha!]
