i went to college with his daughter
rebecca
a shyish girl who was
so beautiful it was very difficult to
even look at her

fringedoubt
...
day off the fringe
out of downtown
due to
total malfunction in the
irony and humour departments

...
...
even the blackest humour
and gallowsiest humour
normally the most
hardy and
ever-reliable
have given up the ghost in the
face of this
unremitting adversity
...
...

cannot raise even the littlest pinkiest finger of an
attempt at light in this darkness

...
...
...
...
...
why did the chicken cross the road?
...
to not get to the other side

...
...
...
o look
that was humour
well, an attempt
