the clown car

as a child
you wondered about the clown
car.
how did they get
so many clowns in there
at once.
one two three,
four and five,
wait, here comes one more,
and another.
we're they good friends?
these circus clowns,
all bent inside the tiny car,
or did they
hate each other, with elbows
and knees
akimbo. a foot
against a cheek or chin?
who ate garlic today?
who didn't shave?
who stepped into what 
the elephant left in the yard?
