It’s Show Time
the Ringmaster enters
royal and poised.
Prepare to see amazing sights!
A spectacular spectacle of wonder awaits your hungry eyes.
Clowns taunting, exploiting every fear
fruitlessly waving his arms, high upon his platform
perched on toes stretched long
projecting, shouting, screaming–
alas,
no one can see,
nor hear,
the Ringmaster.
