Destiny's Mime

He wanted to be around clowns but never wanted to be happy He wanted to write great melodies never wanting to sing He wanted to stand on the mountaintop but never wanted to fly He wanted to read every book never wanting to speak He walked in the twilight of tragedy’s sunset He loved several women only after they were gone He called to his dog who was stuffed in the parlor He answered every question that couldn’t — be asked (Dreamsleep: August, 2024)
