first posted in facebook february 8, 2023
george voronovsky -- "untitled (circus)" (20th cent.)
"damn everything but the circus!. . .the average 'painter' 'sculptor' 'poet' 'composer' 'playwright' is a person who cannot leap through a hoop from the back of a galloping horse, make people laugh with a clown's mouth, orchestrate twenty lions" ... e.e. cummings
"twelve in the afternoon. my soul is not a happy one today, because the happy sun is not seen. the sky stormy full of gray clouds. the ocean is mad and foamy; it is not a good idea to fish for sardines. ocean can catch me and break all my bones, take me in deep where the shark would definitely eat me. the sharp-toothed creatures know that i have metal hooks in me. that is why they dream of taking me, the fisherman, destroying me, so that for other sharks it will be easier. but at the same time, i catch the sardines and eat them too, and therefore putting the sharks out of food.
i tried to honestly be friendly with the sharks, but you can understand that i can't invite them to the hotel, they could easily swallow several full women, and destroy the colony hotel" ... george voronovsky
"cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
zebra ride to the cirkus
past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox
glove which wrote on my tongue
pushed me down a slide to the arena
megaphonium fanfare
in his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
bid me join the parade" ... peter sinfield
"AL the fun of the cirKus!" ... al janik
