The Urge to Join the Circus


The urge to join the circus

means static

like a blood clot on the brain,

means quotidian slaves with decent pay

would rather shovel shit and hay.


The urge to join the circus

is not unlike the urge to kill:

it begs release, provides relief,

and heats a frigid will.


The urge to join the circus

means choosing net or rope,

means a life parading around

mocking youthful hope.
