CLOWN
by Zach Sneddon
the mirror frowns back at me in an angry clown's face
I look him in the eye and tell him to go fuck himself
the clown honks his horn, and squirts me with his trick flower
I punch the clown, hard, soaking the red foam nose in a hotter crimson
shattered, the clown falls to pieces and cries gibberish
I bandage my hand
