“Clown-Versation” 🤡 🗣️

“Clown-versation” (conversation + clown) shows balloon-headed figures in dialogue, each line a riff on “-ment” words that sounds increasingly absurd:
“Speech impediment” — a real term, but here it sets up the pattern and hints that what follows will be garbled communication.
“Social sediment” — sediment is what sinks to the bottom; socially, it’s the awkward residue that settles after bad interactions.
“What a sentiment” — a deflection disguised as engagement; what people say when they heard you but didn’t listen.
“What that sentence is?” — grammatically broken on purpose; the conversation has fully degraded into nonsense by the end.
The throughline: a “conversation” that starts with a communication disorder and ends in complete linguistic collapse. The clown framing says these are the interactions we all recognize — performative, circular, going nowhere. The balloon heads are genius because balloons are full of air, just like the dialogue.

DIE-it

DIE-it
Dinners for beginners
Who eat late at night
Sipping up their supper but the plate’s not wiped
Mama’s getting thinner so the plate stays white
Breakfast is for winners / So their day starts right
Pez pills fill bellies filling sinners —
(Stimulating simulated)
Kill their appetite
Skinny fills the quiet corners of her mind
Coffee, mints, almond time
WASTE AWAY
WASTE THE DAYS
I’ll be happy once I reach that goal of mine
Tip the scales in your favor
Nothingness ain’t a flavor
No junk food those lbs crave her
Walk the thin white line

Hair Cut & Paste
Family names are a funny thing
Related and fated
Tied by an unseen string
Ryan Hair and Ryan Hair
Same year
Kingwood High
Kingwood Park
Two different schools
Two different lives
One name
One reputation
Shared without consent
My brother got the blame
For trouble his cousin made
Same Hair
Different head
Their paths diverged
Like two roads
With the same sign
One shipped out
One locked up
One mind
Now a stranger
To itself
Same Hair
Different head
Same name
Worlds apart
