The Jester teaches us that
expensive electronic devices
should be put away when

hit bottom.
The Jester teaches us that
it is occasionally necessary
to knock a dozen farm fresh eggs
from counter to floor
because the dogs like eggs.
The Jester teaches us that
snapping limbs from a
houseplant or shredding
another’s leaves is not
about destruction. It is a
lesson in the regenerative
powers of Nature.
The Jester teaches us to
challenge our perception of
junk, plastic bottle caps,
dripping droplets of water
and toys.
The Jester teaches us that
toilet paper ain’t just for
wipin’ anymore.
The Jester teaches us that
one should seek balance
between
our daily bouts of high speed
break shit madness
with
contemplative silence.
