You can't divorce a good joke

She said she could never imagine me being married.
This stung.
We laughed.
I am the comic--
not the romantic.
Pain is pettier
felt without witness;
better yet, with punchlines.

Those who weep and wail are...
Genuine?
Authentic?
Deserving of more
labors of love?

We mustn't blame ourselves
for this.
We are pathetic souls,
and I am
fine with it.

After all, my spouse is already my sense of humor.
