I'm a tad confused at the meaning, but this is still an amazing poem!

I alluded to it in the description, but the image of the circus and the multiple careers that those within the tent have chosen are symbolic of the everyday personalities of the people on the street. The daredevil, the trapeze artist, the clowns, the magician, the puppeteers, the acrobats, etc. The remainder touches on the challenges of everyday life, such as: the tightrope, the freaks in cages, the overwhelming anxiety of the ringleader's heritage, etc. Try re-reading after reading my reply. See if it makes more sense the second time 'round. :)
