Clown Clowns always smile I mean they do, don’t they? All this that I’ve put on, it makes me happy now all my corners turned up, smile marks drawn on both eyes, it does make me all happy now, doesn’t it? Happy? Now? Not like a mime. They’re mostly sad and silent, black white and no voice like an old movie. Much better to be a clown, happy, glib, big red smile so I’m happy. I mean, I am, aren’t I? Nobody cares if a mime cries or gets trapped inside an invisible box with no way out. Maybe I should have been a mime. |

I've been known to do a mean tap dance myself. Understood this one all too well. |

Nobody cares if a mime cries or gets trapped inside an invisible box with no way out. Oh, yes... I do. *S* Though I didn't know it in exactly that way until I read this... You've taken a heartache that was almost made cliche' by the song (though I do love the song "Tears of a Clown" *S*)... and made it so fresh and new the words pierce... Yes... that's the reason my eyes dampened... pierced. *S* Superb!!! |

I like this one. Nope, don't like clowns either, not after that movie "IT". I was pregnant and had nightmares for weeks. |

Jamie Clowns hide their feelings...I don't know what they feel...and I don't think they're funny. I think you should be a poet...!! |
