Poetic Asides Circus

Cotton Candy Sticks

Forty-five years ago
our fourth grade field trip—
Barnum and Bailey Circus

What do I remember?

A lion tamer,
a performing elephant,
a clown or two.

But mostly
my friend and I
finding and winding our way

through the Pittsburgh Coliseum
to buy souvenirs and
cotton candy.
