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.
