The Fool
03/05 2023
Night, how it coughs of expectations:
The joker he dances with children, while
The dog chases wild flowers scarcely worthwhile,
It is his responsibility, a man of many nations.
To be so useless, yet most worthy of all,
A keeper of secret dances and life,
That seemingly comes and goes, see it's drive
In the princess dancing across the empty hall.
Years later, as they pass into maturity,
And the Joker is the fool, wrapped
In thick smoke, not a tear wept,
Princes and princesses, in their memory, pass into clarity.
Night, how it coughs of expectations.
Gin & Tonics, drinking games, games of the soul
I say slowly, listen to an old man's woes whole,
If you're so immune to other useful quotations.
