Starting the day with a breakdown,
like a snake feeding at your heart,
so you don your fey clowns face,
you pick from the facerack;
                   morning ritual.
To make existence meaningful,
maintain up-to-date faceracks.
Matters not degree of tormented
suffering as long as you can give
                    good face.
We can learn much from the most
unforgiving sea. Sitting here now,
the moon has returned, paler
than before; like it has discovered
                    tragedy untold.
Like love. Love; an exercise in
mindless pursuit for strange
emotions believed to be
happiness. People believe love
                    gives that..

I finally decided to put away the masks and let the chips fall as they might... Those who accept the results have not just eased the suffering... they've turned existence into living.

I really like this Jerry!!
