THE CLOWN
A Poet in Action
Can do everything
Freedom to improvise
The Gift of Surrender
Restores color to life
Brings to light
human mud and constraint
Knowledge of another reality
Individual
Collective Sc hiz o phren iii aaaas
Without coming completely unglued
or
Flying apart at the seams
Held together happily and delightfully
Tosses the many fragmented
shades of our existence
Laughingly
Side by side
A link between the heavens
and
earth
Free spirit
of unconventional thought
Encourages others
to view the world in
new
and
extraordinary
ways
Ceaseless flow and movement
endlessly
like music
