FREAK
There's this guy on the street
& he's doing the town
& he's showing the color
of the magic that he wears.
There's this clown with a smile
that isn't painted on with a
frown in his eyes that could
tear the whole world down.
He has elephants,
Lightbulbs,
Cards,
Whips,
& Knives & Forks.
He has that look of smooth
untouchable man sweat that
glimmers glossy glows...
Smeared eye paint -
Top hat -
Gesture -
Is the cream before the storm.
But Duke & Dutchess;
What he touches,
Tickles,
Smudgess,
Without doubt of uniform -
The boy is lost in his own madness;
A master in the art of sadness;
A lucky mad man compared to some...
What we've been informs all we've become.
