The Clown.
Nobody sees the
pain between the eyes,
just the clown,
acting out his disguise.
Nobody sees the pain he is in,
with his big red mouth,
and his wide open grin.

Nobody sees through his disguise,
or even detects,
the pain through his eyes.
He is crying aloud,
but nobody hears
through his laughter,
and his bucket of tears.

Look at his nose,
it's a red as can be.
probably from drying
it in his hanky.
Look at the white circles,
under his eyes.
I bet they're black,
if he took off his disguise.

And his face,
all covered in rouge.
probably trying to hide
his taut expression,
while suffering,
severe depression.

Look at his red mouth,
and again at his wide grin.
Can you not see
he is suffering.

Dorothy Wilson. 1985.
