a jester
that dances
and runs
and plays
and makes
and does his all
for an uncaring, callous
for a cruel, vicious
for a broken
earth
but he keeps running and playing
for the boy
in blue
that watches
and finds the joy in his life
in the saddest play ever performed
the jester holds out a balloon and fashions it into a dog
"what's that?"
"it's
a man"
