The Philosopher Clown

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Friends, I’m doing my best to keep up with comments. 😅 I’m still current on my own poems and first replies on others’ work, but this season has been a bit of a twister. Figured I’d drop a quick note so you don’t think I’ve vanished or gone flaky.
Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤

The philosopher clown,
Has hit the big town
And it's all going down
In this city of lights.

As deep as great lakes,
The attempt he makes,
He grasps at the stakes,
But is lost to them all.

His graceless motion,
Causes great commotion,
Like the chaotic ocean,
He is so misunderstood.

His brilliance is lost,
And his dignity tossed
At such a great cost,
Some things never change.

    Brilliant script here my friend. You managed to pull strings together showing the anthology of physics.

    Read my piece called Laughing Gas. Its not just about a clown either.
