If a clown.

I like this poem, not only because its premise hinges on Stephen King’s cultural sensibilities, but also because it asks a very important question:

What could be sadder … than a clown in need of a context?

Yes, there is nothing sadder than a clown searching for a context, and it is especially apparent in today’s world – we have so many people working in jobs that just don’t fit them, either because these people haven’t evolved to meet the needs of this era, or because they were the wrong people for the job from the very beginning.

Before I go off to sleep, I must share this gem with everyone:

You are in the papers again! BTW I texted this to the wrong person; he called me back in shock.

My response:

Hahaha! He must’ve done something really bad then to have had such a fright.

Context: the message was from a friend whom I’ve known for 12 years, so we know each other’s phone number by heart. He probably typed in the wrong number as he was sending the message. BTW it’s not just the both of us who know each other’s number by heart; all our friends in the same group do the same. That’s the value of a Saint Gabriel’s education for you!
