Fortune Telling

Do people really
Run away
To join the circus?
Did they?
What did they do?
Pull on tent ropes?
Feel elephants
Or other animals?
Sweep and sweep
While learning
A circus trade?
Trapeze?
Clowning?
Firing a cannon or
Getting shot out of
One?
It’s Monday
And in my culture
This is the kind of thought
That people have
On Monday

We live close to where the circuses used to spend the winter months. People did run away and join the circus. If you ever get a chance to visit Peru, Indiana, they have a couple of museums dedicated to circus history. They even have a Circus school and festival in the summer.

My goodness, thank you for telling me all this. My visits to the circus are few and far between, though I did play in a band at the circus, once. The museums and the school (and the festival) in Peru sound intriguing. I’m going to look forward to visiting there!

Make sure you cheek the openings. Some of the things are closed due to Covid.
