Food Circus

Food-Circus

I think

I think

About a circus.

Clowns juggle

1,000 cookies each.

Lions jump

Through giant donuts.

The crowd.

It watches.

Their cheeks full.

With cotton candy.

Popcorn too.

I think

I think

About a circus.

A magician

Goes

POOF.

It disappears.

I think

I think about a circus.
