Clown Contra

Should I uncurl and curl my hair dripping with rancid gel, paint emojis on this forehead then wear a lousy skirt, inverted-- For some flair, tuck hippie earrings on my nose, metallic as Afro blings running down my unshaved legs... To titillate passersby( vogue attire) upon arousal, I lick popcorn, rock a song grooving out 0f tune, 'Yo momma, you go kick #ss... In all this mania, a face or nine would swish away... allow this clown front row to get my ticket -- subway seat! Contra Poetry Contest for Jesse Rowe 10/18/2018
