The Boiling of the Laughing Stock
Simon Benson
The arrhythmic beat of my heart, knocking.
A jester opens up,
And invites inside the sociopath.
A conversation struck,
A deal made,
Positions swapped,
The pact of opposites
Now finalised.
Mutualism at its finest.
The wisest decision,
And most dangerous too.
But for whom?
