Lively, you commented, and
not each and every soldier
needs to laugh at the end.
Isn't it enough that you
contributed to something
you never knew?
Isn't it enough that I
did not speak out
then scream, 'why?'
Isn't it enough that
I remained cool when I should've
burned you for that?
Isn't it enough that you
poured sugar into my eyes
out of the blue?
Look, I'm saying your same,
old style of jokes ain't funny.
I don't want to laugh--it's lame.

I don't know how
to laugh
at jokes
teasing
myself,
my dignity,
and my sense of choice.
