The Fool
Paul Regier
[pregier@esu16.esu16.k12.ne.us]
The fool in the light
walks backwards,
escaping the realness of everyday worlds.
The fool isn't seen up front.
It hides
in the dark, in the shadows.
Family is rotted
to decay, never to be found
It knows, but does it care?
The end surrounds it,
like water
surrounds you.
