"Say more," you answer earnestly. Hobo Clown doesn't miss a beat. "Guru Bozo teaches that the only sane response to the absurdity of life is to play the Fool. In kingly courts of yore, it was often only the Fool who dared speak truth to power. In the Tarot, the Fool..." You sip your drink and nod. Hobo Clown has a nice voice. You suspect theater training. "... continuing unbroken, even today," he concludes. "There's a study group in the dining car, if you're interested." Your drink is empty.

@michelestrider@mastodon.social I feel like a lot of fedi-types are going to have a hard time saying no to a study group.

@michelestrider@mastodon.social Turn around, clown eyes! Every now and then I fall apart. And I need a clown tonight to drink with on this train car. To sing karaoke inside and maybe laugh in the dark. The clown knows that he’ll make it to the end of the line He’ll get back to the circus and his life will be bright. I don’t know what to do, the clowns are getting trashed. They keep on telling stories about clown cars that crashed. Forever’s gonna start tonight Forever’s gonna start to… Once upon a time there was light in my life, Now I’m in a room of drunk clowns. This shit’s getting weird. I’m getting off at the next town.
