More Of The Same

 

Clown-Happy And Vain Souls
stagger thiswaynthat.
An unaccountable puppeteer
ensures it is so.

Clumsy steps create the diversion
for gold beak, and dark eye. 
From one scarecrow chest 
a flash of wings flits skyward.

Infants tremble at this unasked for
representation of their world.
Hold them all heartwise with smiles
and ensure the show goes on.
