Everyone is …

afraid of his ignorance
and his ignorance is
no laughing matter …
it isn’t “black humour”
since “black humour”
serves a better purpose …
but everyone really wants
to laugh loudly —
his ignorance will be
legendary one day
but right now … right now
what’s to be written?
Maybe his type of ignorance
will come to be called
“orange humour” … but
seriously … his ignorance
about everything that really
makes the world work
is no laughing matter …
