All Joking Aside

with wordplay and wit, slipping past,
forgotten screenplays, and improvisations,
scatter about, smattered with phrasings,
the fascade of humour, in search of a smile
in vanity, in vain, peppered in sarcasm,
ironically, hair amust,
punch after punch, fueled by lines
the muscles awaken, in ignorance
simply an err,
convieniently aware,
longing for escape,
immediate desire
