Laughing on the Killing Fields

...And we laughed
              until we cried
              and cried until we
                             laughed
because there were no tears left
and it was all so fuckin' hysterical
And it was all pop-cultured
                Entertainment
it was some piece of performance art
and reality got lost behind
          our comic mask
          the tragi-comedy
          in which we cry
               until we laugh
         and laugh until we cry again
