the side show dominated all year
a carousel of musical chairs
ropes tied together
hope knotted hands together
hoping ropes don’t break
take break and find shelter
this is fog and rain weather
smoke pot together
cotton candy in my mouth, in the air
in all my memories of kansas
dominated that year
with girls in cut-off jeans- tight asses
smooth skin leather
i was lonely with eyes
with rain and fog and eyes
tents had
tiger stripes
tigers had their own tents
stripes dominated that year
we lost bets on high wires
leaping over synaptic gaps
we lost friends that year
replaced them with clown faces
this is pot smoking weather
wind takes fog to new towns
with new friends
and cotton candy faces
side show grand finale
ropes don’t break
with all my memories in the air
girls with tight embraces- regular faces
behind striped tents
hands hoping ass
carousel together
lonely finds shelter
clowns dominate the tigers
all kinetic, with friends and pot and weather
kinetics, towns and tents and skin
kansas had music that year
