Clown

There was a clown in my dream. Hi, my name is Gil. Can you hear me now? Put on quite the show. Ah, yes. The world tour. The world as I knew it. McRand’s jolly old sphere of wow, look at all the places. Hillary, dillery, hickory, dickery, oh, such trickery, what’s up, Doc? The male ran around the block. A few times. Just to be heard. Just to know what to say. Just to be polite. To make a long story short. Then…………Pop, went his weasel.

They quit listening. Just as you found your voice, they quit listening. Now, hear this. Now hear this.

Vampires cut you a new opening. Opened you up right where you crave. Vampires, Witches, Warlocks, and more. Magick in all shapes and sizes. Yowsa, Yowsa, Yowsa. Presto Lunch…….get the point? Get the points? So many points. She heard you cream. She heard you scream. Surely a mistake. Is this what I ordered? I thought I ordered the pizza. You wanna piece of me? That piece of me?! All They are saying, is give piece a chance. Open Saysa Her. Open Sesame. Sesame Street. Sesame seeds. Hot cross buns. Pussy doing well?

Jolted awake. Pulled back to the news. Kicking not. Screaming not. Whimpering soft and lower and lower. Victory? Weapons of mass destruction? Bushed? Junior mint maker. Bank banker. Naysayer. King layer. Like father? Like son? Make room for Daddies way. Clueless leaders of rag tag armies. A boy trying to bring home the bacon. Trying to fry it up. Play it like pan. Flutes and Chutes and Ladders to nowhere going up the down staircase. Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Well played. Surprise, Surprise, Gomer…they don’t like you. They don’t know you. If they did, they would like you less. If you did, maybe you would change. Likely not. In the comfort zone. The place of no resistance. The place of many secrets that attracts the how do we keep what we have and get more of what they have before they get a clue about how much we have crowd. Such good boys becoming such good mensch. Don’t mention it. Don’t mention the unmenshable.

Your best was not good enough. Hand me down this. Hand over that. Nice and easy.

Keep your hands away from your gun. Inside the ride……all of you. We’re watching. Everything you do. We know your Achilles heel and it is right between your legs. We will kick you in your one eye if you make a wrong move. Failure smack. Sugar snack. Coco Krispied. Doing great? Greeeeeaaaaaattttttt. Put a little sugar on those and you won’t know the difference. Nana. Neener. Nanny-Nanny, Boo-Boo. Stick your head in…….oh, no you don’t. Close but no cigar. Not even that one. No peaking. Peeking out from under the blanket like that. Tsk, Tsk. Look, Ma, no hands. No mouth. No touchy, no feely. No ticky, no shirty. Wanted to go there. Be there. Be gone. Out damn spot! Look at spot run. So much for dick and maryjane. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.

This pizza is taking too long. These pretzels are making me thirsty. Woody Allen. Woody Woodpecker. Ah, that laugh. That laugh. Their laugh. Reassures then reassures again. Re-Reassures. Doe, Ray, and Me and Jack Swift and his Electric Grandmother.

Too much wash for the machine. The agitated will agitate. Just don’t overload the machine. You will break it. You will have to….it almost broke you and you know its weakness. You are its weakness. As least you used to be. The clueless led by the weak hiding behind walls with your head up your ass while you filled your pockets and they picked the pockets of the world. Alle Alle outside. Neither Fish nor Black Rock Foul. Time for another dream? Don’t worry, sleep is easier once you surrender and realize how hard you worked.

Who don’t know the pairing?
They don’t know the pairing.

She don’t know the pairing.

The mirror tells more than the TV. Even the widest screen. Don’t be afraid to scream. No one can hear you scream in space. This space available. That space available. Man, have I got a deal for you. You came first, she came after, and you know hers was better. Keeping all that inside. Keeping all that inside where it shines out her eyes and doesn’t stain the sheets. Is that a road in the mirror? Can you fall right in? Can you ease on down that road?

Down the road and into the inkwell.

Clown.

Clown.

Down you go.

Clown.

Clown.

There was a clown in my dreams. Each one of them. Three ring circus, band on the run, and x marks the spot. See, Spot run. Run, Spot, Run. The Clowns will get you if you don’t watch out. Run, Spot, Run.

Silly spot. What a clown. There was a clown in my dreams. There always is. After all, they are my dreams. The world loves a clown.
