+_**HYMN 386: JOKES**_
+
+_"Tell us a joke" everyone asks of the clown.  He sits on a log and begins to
+think.  Everyone waits gap-mouthed in anticipation.  A slight breeze ruffles
+the clown's coat, his pompom buttons, his bright red hair.  His nose becomes
+redder in the cold.  Hours pass.  All but the most dedicated of joke listeners
+leave him to rot ~~for all they may care~~._
+
+_The clown opens his mouth to speak but no words come out.  A tear falls down
+his cheek, and another.  He begins to sob.  The last joke listener comes over
+to comfort him.  She puts a hand on his shoulder.  He looks up at her, red
+face, red nose, white lips, and says ~~"Thank you."~~  He vanishes from the
+clearing.  The last joke listener sits on the log and looks up at the sky.
+The moon is full.  The world creaks on its axis._

+Paul looked up to the space on the wall where a window should be.  The shadow
+of his face wavered in the candle light.  He looked back down at the card he'd
+been writing on.  He read the card.  He crossed out the _for all they may
+care_ in the first paragraph, and _"Thank you"_ from the second one.  "What
+could he say" he thought to himself.  "What could he possibly say to her."  He
+went outside to clear his head with a cigarette.  He took his axe with him
+this time.
