15,796. LITTLE TO GO FOR WHAT HAS TO SHOW

LITTLE TO GO FOR 
WHAT HAS TO SHOW
The clown pulls back the curtain; the
tears on his eyes are painted on, and
I knew that before he came on  -  to 
show us all the reminders. Tears. 
Sadness. Sorrow.
-
No level-headed monster can alight
upon emotions; it's always one extreme
or the other. Laughter. Crying. Until
even those clowns come home to rest.
-
We go away, satisfied, or at least with
a feeling of having been  -  complete,
made whole, made easier. If not
enlightened, then just 'lightened'
by mirth and jolly.
