tremble -
be a comedian with a tough hide.
give each in the audience
a bucket of stones and a slingshot.
be yourself -
show little pretense,
but... be forceful in the encouragement
of suffering and direct pain.
a fat lip -
black eye -
more on the way
is pleasure for the onlooker.
no room for pity - empty it all out.
stand tall... back peddle against the wall.
poor aim can go both ways... but... then again -
to feel it?
identify it?
see it?
it's not a big deal... really.
lighten up on stage -
contradictions attract misunderstandings.
wicked? maybe so.
discouraged? not likely - results matter.
dignified by far
in the philosophy of the comic.
tragic endings remain for the poet!!
I laughed my butt off. He he he~ Very original perspective and write. I enjoyed it very much and the sling shot and bucket of rocks still has me gigglin'

be yourself -
show little pretense,
but... be forceful in the encouragement
of suffering and direct pain.
