Clowning around...

I love clowning around
With my strange friend.
We laugh hysterically at
Each other's impressions of
Monty Python's Black Knight.
We draw weird pictures,
We dance,
We greet each other with a slap.
He sees me as a leaf in the wind.

I like peaceful conversations
With my sane friend.
I can clown around in a
Different way when she is there
As the comfortable knowledge that
She likes me for me is apparent.
She sees me for who I am.

A clown.
