Shoe at the circus

Shoe sits on the red bleachers, the big top unfolding before him.  Enormous bears jump through hoops and push colored balls with their nose.  Women and men walk on a tightrope, while beneath them bald men spit fire.  The announcers voice careens through the auditorium, while a number of large spotlights zip around, searching for the performers.  Lights dance on Shoe's face, while he munches popcorn.
