In the pitched tent
the red coated troupe
and yellow buttoned clowns
drown within the spectators laughter
like cuckoos spit
lost in their swirl
I imagine morris dancers
perfunctory as whirling dervishes
far surpassing the circus masters revel

drown within the spectators laughter
like cuckoos spit
lost in their swirl
I imagine morris dancers
