Death is a joke-
Until it’s not.

–
 
Cheap humor,
low shot-
a tragedy.

–

It’s so simple to think,
“the end”.
Less simple to remember
“he went to sleep
and didn’t wake up.”

–

A mother will cry
for a dead son or daughter-
–
While another
complains on the ones
she still has.

–

That’s the joke!
The funny part-
The punchline-
Death.

–

It’s the end.
So simple,
until it’s not.
