    The Announcer Presenting to the Circus

    “Do not feel guilty for all those things
    That are needed to stop our sight: the beers, the dances,
    The bitters the books. Embrace them all, be
    Drunk on them! And may you enjoy your circus.”
    The circus clapped itself, clapped itself, taking the
    Seamless blinds of the trapeze artist

    And the juggler. The puppets and the ringmaster!

    And they clapped and clapped and clapped again
    All the way home.

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
