Balance Clown

by flakebelly

/

about

Acoustic folk-jazz meets pop harmonies, with hints of eastern funk flavour and a side order of beat poetry.

lyrics

emily & henry
gary, mark & matt
their teal Fiat mounting the curb
grin with teeth at all, absurdly
bystanders mix emotions:
some irate - others cheered
like carol & donald & david & rhea
currently gaining the steps of a bus
emily powers the window
and keys the engine stop

early morning
a town in england
swift sunrise followed by
occasional blue sky
old men in mysterious conversation outside the community centre
in aprons

two red umbrellas hang on a barbed wire fence
the discarded remains of an unknown story
someone's rain security
lost

suspicious junkie - head bowed holy
passed out, outside The Shanghei
his head bowed holy, almost to the floor
with his arse still on the chair
a cherubim of contortion, a balance-clown
up to touch the pivot now
