Is that what happens to heroes?
No time for friends?
Only their enemies leave roses.
Violent lives ending violently.
There’s a joke;
Man goes to doctor, says he’s depressed.
Life seems harsh and cruel.
Says he feels all alone in threatening world.
Doctor says treatment is simple. “The great clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him. That should pick you up.”
Man bursts into tears.
“But doctor,” he says. “I am Pagliacci.”
