something about pratfalls
awkward movements
enthrall me how spiders
made massive do

i want to look away

such sadness
i'm afraid the clown
would scatter like ash
burned from inside out
if i did

i saw one
excellent comedy, arch silliness
realised they could do
every act well
chose not to be the racehorse
but rather, nightly, melted down for glue
to hold together
the sacrifice
that allowed catharsis

and as i laughed, i wept

Thanks @FrostPoem - wacky.
