Backwoods Circus

A cloud of indigo-dyed roosters, which can only be seen through a hole in a shoebox, dance like wild teenage punkers on LSD. The bug-eyed audience claps and sings in drunken merriment. A rag-clad vagrant sneaks into the back tent to try and milk an elephant named Tom. But, first he must help the bearded lady guarding the animal shave her back in trade. Later, a dead man named Zeke will be brought back to life by Milford the Mage. The echoes of mingled voices and beast calls bounce around the orange tent like a ricochet bullet through an old folks’ home. The clowns’ union representative, Honker McDoodlepants, mysteriously falls dead. A shadowy man wearing a black cowl climbs through the rafters attempting to hang Paper Mache demons from the ceiling. Billie, The Rock & Roll Mermaid whispers in my ear that she thinks he’s a militant Mormon. I’d better go get my dog out of the truck.
