Two Laughing Hyenas

I often find
myself trying
to be funny.

What I’m
saying—what
I just said—

is that I’m
on occasion,
or on quite 

the occasion,
in fact....
Wait,

did I just
alter that?
Facts, by

the way,
are in
alterable.

But are
they?
Shoot,

all I was
wanting to
tell you was,

and most
likely too
often, I

find myself
attempting
to be funny.

And then,
when I think
about it, that

so-called
funny time,
in retrospect,

it wasn’t (that?)
funny at all.
How far away,

I wonder,
is ‘so-called
funny’ from

hilarious?
