The Clown

The clown a living metaphor of what you see and who i am Still learning to make a funny face to walk differently to perform before an audience A juggling fool with worn out socks in waiting for an applaude to satisfy a world of melanchony delirium and expactations Wearing the big shoes bigger than my being keeping balance of all the imbalance to nurture hungry mouths which survive on a half planet or what's left To feed human shadows which await the big red nose and stretched out lips which need a mask that veils turmoil and pain The clown with a spirit to live and a heart to die is back in full circus splashing many colours on dark shades of grey The clown a living metaphor a tear away from myself the heterozygote twin in the mirror of my mortal smile is back in town and coming out to play.

    I almost had a heart attack! : ) I thought you're talking about me! : ) I use to type happy faces, sometimes I "need a mask that veils turmoil and pain", I'm "back in town/and coming out to play"...Moreover, I wear big shoes! ; ) I got an idea to write about it...maybe in a couple of days...let's see what happen... Sometimes, we have to "perform" expected behavior patterns associated with a particular status... "heterozygote twin"? Nah! I would love to see you wearing a big red nose! : ) Ruben.

    What would we do without the clowns? In a circus or real life they help lighten the load!

    I think there are many clowns around town... I'm one of them (but don't tell anybody)... In any case, I liked your poem... Terry
