What do you do if your Dad is a bum clown?

Red paddle shoes, split at the seams
scuffed and misshapen
cracks between soles and toes
two more toothless smiles

lapel flower leaning down
ashamed to be seen with him
away from his face
stubble clumping greasepaint

Warped dirty stick
gingham bundle tied carelessly
bound to contain nothing
thoughtful or useful

Especially for you
his only child
