The Real Life Called Circus
Josh Terrell

Some men live
Under signs
Pointing to housing developments.

They would make
Great cavemen, but
Don't give them
Clubs
Till they get in the
Cave.

And the mouse lives
In a tree
Or a hole,
But it has cheese.

A screaming woman
Has to let her hair down
Cause she can't afford a ladder.

The business man
Sees only yellow

And Jasper Johns
Is a thief

Shoelaces are useless
Unless you're in jail.
