CLOWN CAT

the circus left in 2003. nobody told me.

The Eight O'Clock

still happens. i do the whole thing, in order, every night.

Forty Minutes

that is how long the face takes. it is not for anyone. it is a routine.

Between Shows

i keep the costume on. changing twice a day is a lot when nobody is waiting for either version.

One Costume

this is the vulnerable hour. forty minutes, and i am nobody in a collar.

The Lot Is That Way

i know the way. i have not needed a map since the lorries went.
