Please don’t leave me hanging like that that, I hate to be in suspense, you piqued my curiosity and it’s so intense. Artfully teasing you know how to play, always one step ahead, leaving me dizzy and frayed, My head is spinning you think you’re winning, who’s got the last laugh? What’s all that...

This Frisbee here turned upside down It never flew quite right Landing on a post and spinning round Like circus plates just out of flight It's edges all inverted Said a clown that caught the sight What happens when you flip it? Then it stopped just out if spite. Ringmaster waved it left and west Then to the east and took a bite He chipped...

If you insist on wearing a merry-go-round on your head At least try to act casual about it said Ringmaster Jed. He was speaking to Carnival girl, his oldest daughter.

In stoic carnival, emotions juggle, laughter somersaults on a tightrope of reason. Epictetus, ringmaster, dons a clown's nose, philosophy as whimsical sideshow. Stoicism, circus tent of paradox, where the lion tamer wrestles inner beasts. The trapeze of fate swings on absurdity, as three Moirai perform an acrobatic feat.
