Oversaturated Clown Smiles

smile at the ocean
one last time
today i go broke
forever will be my new home

smile at the lake
one last time
today i become poor
forever will be permanently unplugged

smile at the river
one last time
today i become destitute
forever will be my anthill park bench

smile at the waterfall
one last time
today i shake the dirty hand of homelessness
forever will be my new body odor etched in infinity
