Cosmic Comedy

a monologue

*laughing* y’know�"its actually quite funny. An everydayjoke. Only this time�"its global. The whole world’son a roll! *laughing* literally…

 

Sometimes I wake up at night, and in that peaceful timebetween dreaming and waking, I transport myself back to when things weresimple.

 

Go to school. Get good grades. Have a lover on my arm at alltimes… yeah�"those were the good days. And when did it all come to an abrupthalt? When was it that I realizedthat this life is just a game?

 

… Around the same time that I started failing, I guess.“you’ve got so much potential…” wasall the teachers said before they gave up and turned away. Around that time Ibecame anti-social. What ever happened to that laughing, carefree child I usedto be…?

 

I guess I just grew up.

Yeah… it’s real funny… they cant hide it from me anymore…I’ve opened up my eyes, and now that I can truly SEE…

 

… I honestly wish I could go back to being blind.

 

It’s just another joke. Not a particularly funny one either.But�"I’ll laugh. I’ll laugh because that’s what’s expected of me. Not becauseits funny. But because… it’s expected.

 

We all die, you know that right? No matter what you do toslow down or speed up the process�"in the end… you die. And that my friend�"iswhere the joke truly  lies.

 

You say no wonderthey have me on so much stuff that I drool when I talk that I bump into thingswhen I walk, that I…

*trails off* *laughs*

 

Y’know�"it’s funny! The whole world’s on a roll!... *sighs�"look off into the distance*…Literally.
