Being a Fool for Others

In front of the audience 
they watch

as i make this place 
the stage
a stage like any place

all of us
sharing
performance antics
this is ours

theatre
people

differences celebrated in meaningless enjoyment

showing
a show of all of us together
watching us
being 
at
in
of
the show

all of us love a fool in front of us
from out of our very midst

puppets given life for the breathing

simplifying
embracing
stupidity
idiocy
humour
intelligence

sophisticated-high-art

my arse!

…your arse

our collective great big funny smelly arse!
