Clown Town
9/6/2017
Show me your face.
It won't be seen.
The makeup you can erase.
If you have been where I've been.
Are you down with the clown?
Do you see the smile that frowns?
Do you feel the depth of this town?
If he is deserving does he claim a crown?
He hides the face that shows us all.
The clown is bright and ready to fall.
For that is the plight of a joke.
That is gagging as he chokes
This town bleeds a fomented face.
She dreams of a perfect place.
The dream ends and she is still.
The hesitates but takes the pill.
