Fitting it all in

It's guaranteed to happen, every time. There's always someone who hasn't seen it before.
"There's no way that's all going to fit" they will inevitably say.
I don't even look their way, I just say "maybe it won't "
It's a troupe. I know it will all fit, It always does.. but they never believe it until they see it for themselves.
They will stand there gaping, sometimes remarking to a fellow onlooker, "There's no way is there?"
As bit by bit it slowly makes it, they start to smile, as if they are watching some illusion taking place.   
As I get close to having it all in, I will usually glance over to see the face of slight disappointment as they expected me to fail.
I don't fail, and as the last bit goes in I always slam it shut...
I guess there are some interesting things about working at the flea market.
