The circus comes to town

The precision of the acro-
bats & the random actions 
of the clowns contrast to 
create a tension which 
the ringmaster disperses 
when he slices through it 
whipcracking on a white 
horse & surrounded by 

his elegant assistants. 
But the progress of the 
circus parade is still dic-
tated by the pace of the
elephants & the amount 
of shit they leave behind.
