Manic Presents Lament: Episode Fourteen: In which moments of calm can be found before the storm, and a plan comes together, or "Alas, we all Lament"

(the following is a transcript of an impromptu street performance, any actors are unknown) THE FOOL and THE CLOWN are standing outside of an unidentified tavern. There is a battered hat on the ground in front of them both. THE CLOWN is juggling a single pin, THE FOOL is digging through a garbage bin The Fool: Do you hear it? THE FOOL begins to remove wood from the bin The Clown:Of course, it's the season, the air is rife with birdsong, nature is resplendent THE FOOL has removed more dried wood from the bin than seems possible, it is stacked up against the side of the tavern The Fool: Resplendent is a choice, it's funny, of course, we attribute such beauty to the songs they sing THE FOOL begins to pour a liquid out of a red angular box onto the wall and dried wood lean-two The Clown: At least conceptually THE FOOL turns to THE CLOWN, who gives them a red, stubby candle. It's flame flickers softly. THE FOOL looks deep into it, in a contemplative manner. The Fool: Sure, the point being, there is *obviously* no greater purpose or meaning to it, it's just threats of aggression and lustful calls, the only source of 'beauty' is in our inability to understand THE FOOL casually tosses the candle over their shoulder, igniting the oily wood The Clown: But is this not always true?
