GAME YOUR EMOTIONS

 

 

That moment

of reckoning comes

that painful moment

when you realize

she wasn’t laughing

because she got the joke

 

She was laughing

because she was drunk

or high

or trying

to game your emotions

 

You thought the humor connected

and you deal with sorrow

 and disappointment

she didn’t really get the jokes

She was just so high

or just so wasted

 

no point in clever retort

just move along

no point in spewing venom

she isn’t likely to understand
