I’ll sit here and be stupid
let all stuffing drop out of my head
all learning, cleverness, deceit
I shall stand here naked before you and afraid
I fear fear fear
I admit this, I am rarely brave
I must admit this because I am stupid
as surely as one who stands naked before you
and don’t know that is illegal in public!!
but I read about cleverness and hear cleverness all day
and that makes me despise cleverness
and I want to be as stupid as a fly
which I am
I don’t know how to earn a living
too tired to hustle
to unbelievable to preach
to fool the world and make money
i don’t know how to network or keep up
with people.
and you will fail in every way like that
So I stand before you stupid and naked
and with fear
but wait, no one is watching me though
they are on their phone.
so I can stupid without consequence
ya see
and I kinda like that or maybe
I don’t so much
but I’m stupid and have no memory
please forgive me
say your name, and I just might forget it
quickly. I do not know what do with myself
I walk the path of a forgotten sun
yet stand here naked and a fool for you
