foolish to the last
serious stares of disapproval
or mocking laughter
in good fun
as the fool
recognizes his foolishness
knowing, and not caring
then not knowing,
cast
on a stage
and labeled
a fool
torn jester clothes
smeared makeup
walking
then running
in the cold rain
the fool tells jokes
to laugh
how foolish
how funny
no one understands
it has never been done before
it’s not quite
an act
in fact
no one really knows what it is
it could be serious
but no
a serious person would understand something serious
unless, what’s serious is foolish
and the fool is trying to show them
that.

Confused, is an understandable reaction for “the fool.” Thanks for reading Athira!

Sometimes, being the fool, is a hard thing, because we have to, pretend, that everything that someone else says about us, doesn’t have an affect, when we’re, deeply, hurt by the words.

Yes, taurus in gemini, and being able to take ourselves less seriously, can be liberating, and gives us the opportunity for a completely different perspective that allows us to change everything.
