THE FOOL from THE PRISONERS OF NEPTUNE'S BAR

For I am the fool
Here to serve your lie
or a moonbeam down a windy road.

For I am the fool tipping my hat under
the dance of dismay and delight
Death and desire
Days into night.

For I am the fool
Reflecting memories by design
Benign or to confine
Memories by design
from planets or parents.
