Send In the Clowns

Comic
faces smiling.
Maniacal laughter
echoing deep inside the head.
Terror.


This poem was inspired by Cindy Sherman's Untitled #425, a chromogenic color print from 2004.  This print was seen at the Dallas Museum of Art, which is currently hosting a Cindy Sherman retrospective until June 9, 2013.
