these words just popped into my head, so I had to write them down before they were destroyed by short-term memory loss..


The way of the clown

it's not knowing which way to go
and therefore stumbling over your own feet

it's the art of confusion
and skillful mistakes made with expert timing

it's painting a personality
and washing it away after the show

it's the rebirth of freaks
under the spotlight
under the circus sun
the greatest show on earth
has now begun

Cool and entertaining write!

PS: Note that line 3 needs "confusion" and the last line needs "has."

PPS: I know what you mean about short-term memory loss...
