Mark Twain tried to swallow an entire planet’s imperialistic, selfish greed, stuff it inside a funny white suit. Then the daughter of Samuel Clemens died. Mark Twain kept working. Samuel Clemens stopped working. We go on, despite. Despite this, to spite this, in spite, we go on. It really is a wonderful joke. It’s really quite hilarious.

from Robbie Q. Telfer’s poem “Clowns” in Spiking the Sucker Punch
