The Carnival
You canât persuade the carnival to stay.
Wish all you like, it has to go away.
Donât let the way it moves on get you down.
If it stayed put, how could it come to town?
How could there be the oompah and the thump
Of drums, the trick dogs barking as they jump?
The girl in pink tights and gold headache-band
Still smiling upside down in a hand stand?
These wonders get familiar by the last
Night of the run. A miracle fades fast.
You spot the pulled thread on a leotard.
Those double somersaults donât look so hard.
