Every school was a big top circus tent and the pecking order
went from from acrobats to lion-tamers,
from clowns to carnies
all of these were miles ahead of who we were,
We were freaks. Lobster claw boys and
bearded ladies, Oddities.
Juggling depression and loneliness playing solitare, spin the
bottle trying to Kiss the wounded parts of ourselves and
HEAL.
