[Letter 3: New England 4/8 – 1896]

My Friend,
As you visit the mindbender he presents his show
in an extraordinary fashion:
“Welcome to my charming stage, feel free to volunteer.
Spectacular hypnosis all for you who are gathered here.
So don´t be afraid my friend, all I can steal is your mind!
Seek absolution and you shall find”.

He picked a young woman for hypnosis and said:
“Digging in your past I see your secrets now.
All your childhood fears they will surface anyhow.
So don´t be afraid to let it all out,
the only thing I can do is plant a seed of doubt.

Stare into my eyes, feel your body relaxing
and believe in my lies.
Look into your soul, think that it belongs to me
and fall into the endless hole”.

In an even eerier voice he bellowed:
“I´ll take your fantasies into a deep pit
from where they won´t disappear.
I will alter your brainwaves
so you´ll never again think clear.
“Stare into my eyes, feel your body relaxing
and believe in my lies.
Look into your soul, know that it belongs to me
and fall into the endless hole”.

I stumbled out of the frightening tent
and let my mind wander,
as I ran into the woods surrounding the circus.
