the good fool

 


get drunk on
a dare from a
dead man or
buy a naked
duck

when in Paris be
sure to piss on
the Eiffel Tower
and be on the
watch for blind
men flying kites
in a dust storm

take time to make
a fish laugh, and
don't look at a dog's
ass unless you want
a mirror into your
own soul

always keep a couple
of extra packs of rubbers
w/ you in case balloon
animals are needed
at a party

perform acts of
absurdity on your
own behalf and
for no other,
never act the fool
for another fool

only be the fool
to fool others

then

and only then

w/ the greatest
slight of hand
will the world
not know that
you are laughing
fully in its face
