OTHER CLOWNS<\/p>\n
I’m walking on an exhausting path.
\nAt times I feel torn between ‘must’ and ‘must not’.
\nSuddenly, I feel like I’m a clown: a Facebook clown.
\nI’m driven by other forces, but not my own.
\nThe intensity not only scares me,
\nbut my own energy is swallowed up over time.
\nAnd suddenly it strikes me:
\nI don’t like to be a Facebook, Twitter, Insta,
\nor any other clown.<\/p>\n
