The Circus Clown
Encircles us
His made up face
And painted on
Smile belies
An origin
Not thought
Much less sought
From a world inanimate.
*
The balding pate
Sprouts tufts of hair
More often carrot or corn
A cherry nose of viral scorn
Oversized
Adorned
A backward child
With childish pride
Appraised in adulthood.
