Laugh

you should laugh
this is the theatre of absurdity
nothing which you do now
has been done before
nothing which you want
will you get again
the tears you have cried
have flowed through the valleys
of your hopes and dreams
you were lost and looking
the map of your world is written
in a language you don’t know

laugh then, laugh with the clowns
they have permanent tears for you
tears that you have shed before
the big top will always be taken down
when the show’s over;
but at the next town, the next life,
you will pitch it again.
