nothing to laugh about

no circus ever made you laugh.
no clown. no elephant in a dress,
or midget on a unicycle.
you get no joy
from the fat lady, or the monkey
with the organ.
the man on stilts does nothing
for you, or the human
cannonball flying through
the air. yawn.
your laughter comes from
a darker place, let's start
with a woman scorned.
