You’re Not the Sad Clown You Think You Are
The lamppost is an outpost
Where it’s safe to admit
That between you, me, and the lamppost
Self-knowledge is over-rated
Self-deception is automated
And self-overcoming is mediated
In sum:
Know thyself is out–
Know thine elf is in
But there are no elves in Narnia
Back in our war-torn reality
You might think
Quick, send in the elves
Don’t bother, they’re here
