Teddy Kimathi
The Clown
He has black stars crossing his eyes,
and a red ball-like nose making a hoot sound.
Children from all walks of life come to see him,
laughing at every silent gestures he makes.
They laugh at jokes meant to be a communication
for help within – his wife can't read the symbols
from his gestures.
