it's like a circus. every day the ring leader changes (or, sometimes, there is more than one ring leader which means the players do not know what to do or who to follow. Some follow their own path, weaving and acting and tumbling on their own paths) - every day the audience is different. Some don't want to be there but the majority do. Some look down on the clowns, the performers, the costumes. must be too stupid to do anything but work in this circus but we're not. Underneath our costumes and face-paint we are people and we are smart and we make each other laugh and we survive every day. Doesn't that deserve a round of applause? Hand over your coins and we'll give you a show; welcome ladies and gentlemen to the comedy of our lives, but stay for the tragedy. It's worth every second of it. Sometimes we may stumble over our acts and somedays the clowns, the marionettes, the animals might change roles. We are clowns one day with plastered grins on our faces, the next day we are the ringleader, directing and holding the fragic fabric of the marquis together with our solidity. Maybe tomorrow we will be the acrobats and soar about the audience and make them beam and gasp with joy? Or maybe we will be the animals, doing tricks and scaring the watchers, making them twist into each other's sides and laughing with relief, clapping appreciatively. Give the kids a show - twist your face into the mockery of a smile they've come to see - dance the steps like it's all you're meant to do.
come see our show and when you leave, remember to thank god you aren't one of us.
