Circus
Behind his smile, the clown cried.
Lion tamer? Lion's dinner, more like!
Couldn't train animals; trained humans instead.
Tightrope snapped. Parents plumetted. Sidekick found.
The lion obeyed, until it didn't.
Rings of fire, lure me in.
Always the clown, never the ringmaster!
Slight of hand. Suspend belief. Magical.
It came, then vanished into sawdust.

I'm assuming "crown" should read "clown".
