Circus

So what if in a moment it all changes

as It tends to do?

And what if Life takes an unexpected turn

the acrobat loses balance

misses the catch

missteps on the high wire?

What if it all falls down around us

the wire

the gymnast

the jugglers’ pins

the voluminous tent

the girl on the elephant’s neck

the colorful flags

the ringmaster’s tall black hat?

What will we do then?

What will we all do?

What will happen to that elephant?
