the jester

Shy and guarded, he said
that's what he said
and I choked on my coffee
surprising!

This jester
Covered in bright colors and bells?
Dancing with wide strokes?
Singing loudly and telling all?

Your eyes, he said
Open your eyes

And I quickly closed them tight
not wanting him to see inside
not wanting to admit I'm naked under this hat and frock.
