The Joke

There exists a joke so funny that those who hear it die of laughter, drowning in their own tears. This joke is rarely, if ever, told. But it happens to be known by all who walk this Earth, and, likely, those who walk above. The joke sinks, swamp-like, into our minds and actions. We laugh and laugh, cry and cry, oh what am I?

One: Do you get it?

Two: No.

One: It’s a joke, like how we are being made to talk in dialogue-format.

Two: Oh, I get it. It’s Life. That’s the joke.

One: Almost, though not quite, for what is life?

Two: I don’t know.

One: Ah, there you go, now you’ve got it.
