Circus

every so often a moment will make you think about what you want or where you have been or what you wanted to be when you grew up what if I learned how to walk a tightrope? or how to swallow a sword or how to put on a mystifying dance of mystery Perhaps we have already learned these things... I have learned how to balance many demands, but not the checkbook I have learned how to gulp pride and grandma's meals, but not how to swallow defeat I learned how to belly dance and how to move in colorful circles but not how to be guarded and safe and dance in the confines of this world nor the ones beyond that joining the circus would help me to improve these skills and the vaudeville lifestyle would suit me well Anyone need a freak?
