The name?

just... Steven Kas,

no fixed address,

no occupation, no income

...but lots of experience.

A clown of three rings,

a jester serving no kings,

a joker in a crooked game

of  poker,

a father, a partner,

a dreamer of dreams.

To tell you the truth...

- well, it's not much to tell

as the curtain slowly descends

halfway through a lifelong

banal,

improvised

comedy appearance.

Glendale, California, 1978.
