Just A Freak - Dustin Vado

Painted face
hollers an opera
with lockjaw.

The show must go on.

A crowd jeers
just passing through, paused for
moment's freak.

The show must go on.

Clown plays jacks,
pants at his ankles in
lit public.

The show must go on.

Not one tip
for masquerader in
monochrome.

The show must go on.

Typhus breath
happy for a stage bleached
by sunshine.

The show must go on.

Hacking Iungs
spell meaningless address
in blacktop.

The show must go on.

Drips from brush
of Hell’s watercolor
perform cold.

The show must go on.

He stays warm
in blood stain of incest,
familiar.

The show must go on.

Homeless dogs
sniff lumps from dumpster fires
of the pack.

The show must go on.

Painted face
fades to old memory
down the street.
