Look At That Look At That
Look at that! Look at that! Look at that!
We were in the nose bleed section.
I was busy watching the beauty on the trapeze.
Not caring about the rings at all.
My classmates were insanely bossy
Wanting everyone to look at the same thing
I was beyond annoyed. Wanting to watch the acrobat forever
We had cotton candy afterwards
No one could get out of the teacher’s line
We filed past elephants who were pooping.
I could have gone without seeing that
But everyone was screaming “look at that!”
The next time I go to the circus, it will be alone.
I will watch what I want to watch,
and it will not be the elephants.
You can count on that.
