+| When Ronald McDonald takes off his [striped shirt][],
+| his coveralls, his painted face: when he no longer looks
+| like anyone or anything special, sitting next to women
+
+| in bars or standing in the aisle at the grocery,
+| is he no longer Ronald?  Is he no longer happy to kick
+| a soccer ball around with the kids in the park,
+
+| is he suddenly unable to enjoy the french fries
+| he gets for his fifty percent off?  I'd like to think
+| that he takes Ronald off like a shirt, hangs him
+
+| in a closet where he breathes darkly in the musk.
+| I'd like to believe that we are able to slough off selves
+| like old skin and still retain some base self.
+
+| Of course we all know this is not what happens.
+| The Ronald leering at women drunkenly is the same who
+| the next day kicks at a ball the size of a head.
+
+| He is the same that hugs his children at night,
+| who has sex with his wife on the weekends when they're
+| not so tired to make it work, who smiles holding
+
+| a basket of fries in front of a field.  He cannot
+| take off the facepaint or the [yellow gloves][].  They are
+| stuck to him like so many feathers with the tar
+
+| of his everyday associations.  His plight is that
+| of everyone's---we are what we do who we are.
