Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds
 Fused my dust from a light year
 Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon
 Strung my warp across time
 Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard
 Told me only I was her
 Bid me face the east closed me in questions
 Built the sky for my dawn...
 Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
 Zebra ride to the Cirkus
 Past a painted cage, spoke to the pay box
 Glove which wrote on my tongue
 Pushed me down a slide to the arena
 Megaphonium fanfare
 In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
 Bid me join the parade...
 "Worship!" cried the clown, "I am a T.I.
 Making bandsmen go clockwork
 See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman
 Bareback ladies have fish"
 Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman
 Acrobatically juggling
 Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers
 Lest the mirror stop turning...
 Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk
 Ate the floors of their cages
 Strongmen lost their hair, pay box collapsed and
 Lions sharpened their teeth
 Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded
 Pandemonium seesaw...
 I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted
 "All the fun of the Cirkus!"
