6524. IN DEFINING STUPIDITY

IN DEFINING STUPIDITY
All those jesters, magistrate-judges and nuns in
black costume, like things of the past brought to
life for a day, they stand around idle waiting to play :
someone here must have the script; how do we
start these up? Edicts and prohibitions, contraband
in the gutter. I have watched better acts than these
in the midst of bad sleep, talking back to no one.
-
The night has a refuge only refugees can see : the 
place where the setters set, the tired are tired and 
weary, and the last man in the calliope parade 
finally comes in  -  how they say?  - 
 dragging his tail behind him.
