Jose Stephen Poet I do not know?

The Silent Clown

I went to the mall today
I saw the clown around the corner
Kids were going towards her
They all came back in colors

Kids are in red and blue
Kids are in green and yellow
Kids are in orange and purple
Kids are in all different colors

I walked into that corner
I want to be in color too
I stood there for a while
Kids were in queue with their moms

I waited and waited
Time moved forward and forward
When one kid left another one is already on line
I didn't dare to join the line

So I stayed out of line
I watched the big smiles on the small faces
Why I didn't ask her to paint me ?
Why I didn't waited more time ?

I left there without colors
I think it is because I am not a kid anymore
Before leaving I took a card from the clown
Who knows I won't be a clown one day ?
