I act like a punchline because I always feel like I’ve been set up
The doctor who knocks
Drunk as a skunk
In a set-to
Lacking in patients
Yet many casualties
–
A sheep in wolf’s
Clothing
Bathing
Cavorting
In a bath of blood
Eating the grandma
Of a
Local lass
“What does a depressive do when faced with indecision?—
I don’t know, I really don’t know, and I really really don’t care”
my jokes are always in quotes
in case I hit a nerve or two
my quotes are always jokes
to soften the blow when I fail
I take directions very literally
I dress as told; my life is staged
I follow my lines and rarely improvise
I am waiting not for the curtain call
but when it’s time to exit the stage
and before that boat bolts and the bull sails
I have jokes in quotes loads of jokes in quotes
boatloads of jokes in quotes so many no one can
tell what’s the joke and where are the
quotes and where one ends and the other begins
in the wings with a whip quick quip in parentheses—
and
just so you know
I never mean what I say unless
“I mean what I say”
