Dreams and Schemes and Circus Crowds

    
Last weekend we went to the circus.
    
(As one does on Sunday nights in Iraq.)
    
There used to be a lion but they left the poor dear out in his cage in the July Iraq sun without water.
    
So no more lion.
    
There were still cats and a snake and two tiny hairless dogs.
    
But mainly there were acrobats and tightrope walkers and clowns and one amazing magician.
    
Which is the best kind of circus, anyway.
