The Carnival

[MILLER, spoken]
What have I set in motion here?
This morning, there was a traffic jam
Extending four miles from Bee Doyle's farm
With not one of the thousands of automobiles moving

From Kansas City to New York City
People have closed their newspapers and traveled here
On horseback, by buggy, by bicycle, on foot

Some have come to offer help
While others are here, it seems
To watch, to socialize
Or to hawk their wares

Small concessions and commissaries
Seem to sprout up hourly on the hillside

[The carnival continues to build and swirl above ground.]

[FLOYD imagines the carnival in his head and yodels along with the music.]
