## Description

Our circus was different from others

Often appearing when no one wanted it to

And without much announcement 



Staying either past its welcome 

Or brief enough so as to avoid breeding any real enjoyment 



Large yellowing tents containing nothing in particular 

Punctured the familiar holes of our town 

Settling into the wounds with peculiar familiarity 



Staked by the shaking hands of ketamine fueled employees

Who knew nothing else 

Other than the indifferent construction

And dismantle 



There were no rides 

And no food

And no notable attractions 

And admission was rarely charged 



We would attend

Because tradition was more important 

Than enjoyment



Sometimes sitting in the tents until we were sent home 

Sometimes noticing that the striped nachos fabric on the roof had the same wrinkles we did



Sometimes falling in or out of love

Or observing the dying goats who seemed to have no affiliation to the circus itself



Sometimes we told each other 

We’d stop going 



Or bring food for the goats



But then we’d forget 

And fall asleep 



And hope they’d be there next time 

Because we wouldn’t forget then
