where life ends

sometimes you can pretend
to be serious.
it's hard, but you've learned
over the years
to not make
sarcastic remarks at everything.
your mind races with
wise guy remarks.
you can hardly
hold the words
in your quivering mouth,
but you do,
biting your tongue,
funerals and weddings,
serious events,
like that, where life ends.
