Cheap Thrills

Knives - painting by Andy Warhol


Cheap Thrills

And so you are a razor wit
cutting slashing 
through meat and mire
relentlessly
searching for laughs.
I chuckle along
through gritted teeth
because I'm never sure
of your aim 
or purpose
and I don't want to bleed
for your enjoyment.

  2. Great thoughts, Jo. Humor is a powerful and healing thing, until we use others as our cutting board.

    The picture reminds me of the Ginsu knife commercials.
