don't know why I keep doing this


if I can barely understand myself

what value could I possibly have for others?


or am I the clown entangled in his own

payback and is condemned to play the fool


until he understands exactly what a fool signifies


wisdom in gaudy off-putting garb

wisdom in koans that reveal the need to press on?
