The circus used to come through town.
Every year we’d lose a few rough dreamers to the big top and carney stalls.
But now — everywhere’s a circus.
An endless ratty tent; the new atmosphere. The din of half meant, overlapping “step right ups” and a general feeling of complicity with the ubiquity of broken animals and rigged games.
But this is really unfair and actually untrue. A circus can’t be everywhere. A circus exists in difference and in a kind of defiance (not necessarily good or bad).
So, all said for effect then?
No, and kinda. Just wanted to create a dimension (or trace) onto what we really want to say.
Which is?
We are a rough dreamer who ran away with the library when it came through town.
Are you trying to be funny?
Why? Was it funny?
