The Way of the Farce
There is grand cosmic
Jest that unites all life forms in a common disunity. It is a field of
contradiction that energizes and misguides all existence. I call it the Farce.
The Farce has a Delight
side, and a Dork side. The Delight side is peaceful; it is just and wise and
happy, but alas, it is sad, so sad. The Delight side of the Farce is the Blues.
Sing it!
But beware the Dork side
of the Farce! It is quicker, easier, more seductive than the Delight side, but
not stronger. Sneer is a path to the
Dork side. Sneer leads to clangor; clangor leads to prate; and prate leads to
puffery.
Once you start down the
Dork path, forever will it dominate your comedy, until you find the courage to
unite Dork with Delight. In truth the two are one; for that is the way of the
Farce.
