Carnival |
Tilt and whirl, rise and plummet |
Stalled in the sky and loved it |
Blacked out — the stars above the lot still shone on you |
Wired on raw good luck |
We’ll never get far enough above |
The sordid and sticky low-rent show that moves below |
I’m finding my own way around |
Our carnivalesque common ground |
When are the tents coming down? |
Savoring stale confections |
And magically cheap concessions |
To faith in a framework built to stand a test of days |
I can just smell the money; |
A net beneath everything that falls |
Into the gap between love and pornography |
I’m finding my own way around |
Our carnivalesque common ground |
When are the tents coming down? |
The medicine show comes around |
To peddle a prescription now |
To medicate mistrust of crowds |
The pitch coming on sickly proud |
There’s no way around |
There’s no way around |
And there’s no way the carnival tent’s coming down |
