It may well be delusional, as in the case of the muffinheads, but that's another story. Users and abusers make for glum freaks who add little to urban circus life. For in the world of clowning, as it has long been in the world of art, life and imagination are inseparable. Everybody's got at least one weird mask. That is, there is far more to even the most simple person than is evident by their personae.
People are deep, even the seemingly shallow ones.
I have a friend who has a huge part of her life that is practically unknowable to her loved ones, so there is much that is a very important part of her which they will never see. Imagine the gulf that exists between different cultures. Love is an interesting word. Please, a little less love and a little more common decency. We have those who freaked before us to thank for the freedoms we freak on today.
