What is a Clown?
what is a clown?
mystery and ambiguity
the crying face that makes us smile
the joy that lasts but for a while
masquerader of lies
attempting temporary misdirection of sadness
desire for journey into the surreal
entertainment for a child
repulsive, distorted image of humanity
momentary escapism
jester
fool
scapegoat
endless anything which is impossible
and laughter born by mockery.
