Carnival Days

Don't ever laugh at carnival folks. They're just an exaggerated reflection of ourselves. They swallow glass-fire and cutlery the very things that allow us to eat. They're morbidly obese and skinny while most of us are somewhere in between.. The strongman isn't so strong there's a gun under his pillow he dreads another day but don't we all at times feel the same- There's something to be learned from carnival folks. Lessons in moderation - humility-humanity We all will be eating glass -fire and metal someday. (just like carnival folks have been doing their entire lives) Listen to the carnival folks and never laugh at them they know things that we don't.
