Clown Frown – Written Sunday 5th October 1997 (Aged 22)

Clown Frown

clown frown
dead end
empty head,
no sound
sugar sweetener
fleeter by air-
than your feet
riding on –
the back of a future
trying to steal the look
clown frown
always around
gutter press
rearrange head
bedroom is a mess
listen to the words said
not in serious tones
more in jest
engaged telephones
leave me alone
clown frown
feeling feet
then finding the ground
getting your meat
taste bud hug
stick around
clown frown




James Garratt – Sunday 5th October 1997
