The circus is in town tonight
Come; it’s a one-night fantasy.
All ages are welcome but come with the mind of a child
Whose imaginative escape can conjure the Edens of Neverland.
It flutters on every possibility of innocent bliss
Taking paths as straight as a falling feather.
Come and see the cavalcade of entertainers
Big-eyed performers at the electrically dazing carnival.
Three rings will host a frenzy of masses in movement.
Feel the tribal syncopation
That builds with rhythmic synergism and resonates through your bones.
The bass will hum the strum of the drums;
The floor will be beat with the sweep of feet.
The circus is an oddity show and all are invited to perform
Alongside the dancers whose feet belong to a trained ballerina
Gracing the tight rope with her footwork.
Watch the jugglers who play with stars;
They will cross your eyes with a barrage of lights
As they explode into a supernova the size of an arm span.
The audience loves you here
And you are a fan of your biggest admirers.
The circus is in town tonight
But take care to leave when the fluorescent lights switch on.
The embrace of your fans is illusive and temporary.
They are enchanted in a trance of lucid realities-
Translucent canvases for utopias that only a child is na’ve enough to finger paint.
Their hands are stained with hope
While innocence blindfolds their bright eyes.
