Euphoria is a Jolly Rancher Green Clown

Smiles lined the 
faces of my friends

But his skin
was the color 
of the sticky green
jolly rancher
I found weeks later
under my bed

His nose the color
of the blood 
I imagined dripping 
from my veins

His laughter
would pierce
my nightmares
for years to come

One kid’s euphoria
is another kid’s
creepy-ass clown
