The Laughing Lady Frights

I hadn’t noticed before now that her smile was painted on accented with deep crimson lipstick her eyes too seemed to gaily laugh outlined in black to pop out from her pale languid hanging flesh a perfect piñata ready to be smashed what goodies lie within her bloated face void staring out into the world I can almost hear the carnival barker three tries a quarter come now come one & all come & see the life revealed while in the shadows lurk the clowns within the trailer long & winding down into the pit into the swirl as water rushes gurgling past boat & sailor at half mast she poses in front of us bigger than life scaring heck out of us before doors open
