The Clown


The Clown
by Bryan Stillman
 

I put on my Clown Makeup.

I went out the front door.

I strolled down the street towards the Fillmore.

When I reached La Boulange, I went in

And ordered a pain au chocolate and café au lait.

That was the beginning.

My mouth was red and brown and frothy.

From there I went to Los Angeles, Seattle,

Boulder, Dallas, Chicago, New Orleans,

New York and Boston.

In each city I rented a hotel room.

Each day I would put on my Clown makeup

And spend a couple of hours just walking,

Speaking to no one.

Finally, after rehearsal was over,

I went to Paris.
