bobbles above his body
avoiding powerlines
automobiles and trucks
even people walking by
his impromptu parade
has a hundred people or so
but the great clown leads it
centers it
and brings up the rear
sometimes playing a tuba
occasionally spraying playing cards
the people
hurrying along the sidewalks
stop to stare
then hurry on
too busy to be confounded very long
the parade
snarls car traffic
and busies the police
for nineteen blocks
along all of which
children cry
mamas and nannies despair
puppies
forget to pee
