A CLOWN WITH BLUE HAIR
A CLOWN WITH BLUE HAIR
Driving along Queen St. today under cover of grey
fall splendor squandered
Marching drones & clones
in large numbers wander
A day is a day is a Hark!
A young clown with blue hair
is smiling at the troops He is unspeakably beautiful
His smile urgent & fleeting
casting pearls before the swine
He’s mine all mine I want to take him home to meet my mother
And marry him if he’ll have me
