The Hinge
Residue of confusion,
Wayward distortion of fact,
The jester has simply
forgotten how to act.
It is one thing to let loose
and go on a binge.
Quite another to polish
An old, rusty hinge.
The one ignores the fact,
the other faces it.
Mr. Dramatic ignores it
while the jester chases it.
The jester just laughs,
though he doesn’t get the punchline.
Mr. Dramatic just imagines
that the hinge has a bright shine.
