Funny in that sharp and biting way--it's often so dry and cruel (but never malicious) that it takes you a moment to realize it was a joke.

Dark
pulls me under
feels like I’m dying
beating
the harsh surface of cold
unforgiving
unyielding stone
breath--more like freedom
breaking the surface
gulping
for just a moment
back under
the dark consumes me
again
blue
an ethereal thing
black
like the creatures of nightmares
light
bright above me
it doesnt last
for longer than a moment
back under the blackness
again
they crash around me
it shouldn’t hurt like this
they told me
it should be quick
they told me
it’s like falling asleep
I made a mistake
letting the freefall
of those precious seconds
consume me
I thought
an instant
that’s all it takes
but the blackness
at the base of the cliff
it has decided
to take its time
not quickly at all
