If we laugh

If we laugh 
we say we 
know our settings

better than 
the likes of those
who snivel 
out/with proud 
sorrow entire 
this end 
of life known
as I and you.

As I and you 
sit perplexed 
and bemused
   there are wars
   and negations
   and other people
   with better jokes.

As I and you 
run our tongues
over the old hare lip
of comedy and critique,
    I and you 
    forfeit the secrets of mayhem
    for algebra

systematically 
agreeing that x 
computes neater 
than skin and terror.
