The cautious clown
hides his
crestfallen frown
behind his
Intricate crown
of color.
Never letting
his true self
fully seep through
the cracks of
vulnerability.

It requires cleverness!
Yes, all comic entertainers have there own way of covering their shame or humiliation. Especially when they seem to perform in a public space. They're already on the spot light. So, any iota of mistake is immediately covered in a subtle way.
Thank you
My inspiration was the 1947 movie called a double life. which talks about a man who gets engrossed within the mind and madness of Macbeth .

in a way...
we are all actors on a stage... the best of us cover completely and on the spot. we all wear masks.
