Happy Enough (Épreuve Synthèse)

Watch the fool dance. Watch him spin his little web. Oh! How he dances. Round and round he goes. Watch the fool climb. Up up up into the trees like a monkey. Higher than all the others. You can’t hide. Watch the fool lie. Careful you don’t trip on the tongue. It looks slippery. Watch the fool perform. It is the final performance of the season. Be entertained. Laugh and cry. What is he hiding? Such a tragedy. Round and round he goes slipping and tripping on that forked tongue of his. No one to blame but himself.
