The circus came to town the day I left. I took Lisa to the show, knowing she still loved the clowns. First act was juggling. Lisa watched the balls arced and swooped, then exploded into the air like multicolored popcorn. Their movement was a series of surprises so fluid that the juggler seemed more audience member than facilitator. But there was a moment when his hands were empty, and he could only wait as his balls flew around him. I saw his relief as each ball returned to his open arms. But I left that night and didn’t look back.
