Dialogue of the Absurd

(Shhhhhh.)

Clown 1:  But have you tried?

Clown 2:  Tried what?

Clown 1:  Just tried.

Clown 2:  But, tried what?

Clown 1:  …

Clown 2:  I don’t understand.

Clown 1:  Neither do I.

Clown 1:  I wanted to flow like that.

Clown 2:  Like a ship.

Clown 1:  Slipped!

Clown 2:  White caps!

Clown 1:  That’s more of a rocking.

Clown 2:  Yes.

Clown 2: Are you a poem?

Clown 1:  Well, that’s one more notice.  You know what I saw the other day?

Clown 2:  What?

Clown 1:  My reflection.

Clown 2:  Oh?

Clown 1:  It looked back at me and told me I was old.

Clown 2:  Well,..

Clown 1:  Older.

Clown 2:  …

Clown 1:  Older than now.

Clown 2:  Nice one.

Clown 2:  Wait.

Clown 2:  Nevermind.

Clown 1:  I don’t.

Clown 1:  I don’t know where my mind is.

Clown 1:  It was here but then my heart blew away like an aged leaf.  And now I just have thunder.

Clown 2:  Step on it.

Clown 1:  On what?

Clown 2:  The thunder.

Clown 1:  No.  It’ll kick me.

Clown 2:  Like a horse?

Clown 1:  Like a donkey.

Clown 2:  Smart.

Clown 2:  Put the ass in a bag.

Clown 1:  I haven’t got one.

Clown 2:  Neither do I.

Clown 1:  I think it’s gonna rain.

Clown 2:  It never does.

Clown 1:  I know.

Clown 1:  But today, it might.

Clown 2:  It never does.

Clown 1:  Yip.

Clown 1:  It never does.

Clown 2:  Maybe one day we’ll find it.

Clown 1:  Maybe it’s lost.

Clown 1:  Like the bag I haven’t got.

Clown 1:  And the hammer in my head.

Clown 1:  Have you got an aspirin?

Clown 2:  No.

Clown 1: Have you got two?

Clown 2: Oh, never.

Clown 1:  I shouldn’t tell you.

Clown 2:  Tell me what?

Clown 1:  Nothing.

Clown 1:  I have always wanted to find my place.

Clown 2:  It never rains.

Clown 1:  It just wanders.

Clown 1 & Clown 2:  Just don’t give it a name.
