The clown cried today, in the fat lady’s arms he cried. Folds of fat a womb for a cold hard world. Shivering and shaking his cries muffled by the towering tent, and the astonished mutterings of a shocked crowd. His son, flying so high fearless and free, now a broken body on the ground, blood and bones mixed with popcorn and elephant waste. The clown cried today, in the fat lady's arms he cried. |

I sure understood this one as when I was young, a Barnum and Bailey Circus came to town, and I witnessed a fall, it was horrible! I am hoping this is well done fiction. Well done scene. |
