Cupid's Late Night Radio Show

Cupid hosted late night radio once last week,
told a caller wanting advice on women and pick-up lines
that love is a three ring circus:
the trapeze artist has just discovered
a latent fear of heights
and refuses to come back down,
the elephants have trampled the contortionist
for cheating on her lover
with the lion tamer, Emil,
and the ringleader can't find his top hat,
his checkered bow tie, or his courage--
no one's really sure which it is.

Listening in that night, 
loneliness eating away at my gut,
I couldn't help thinking if that's the case,
then life is a zoo keeping us caged.
