tristich: joke

tristich: joke

painting by moin

god's jokes
can be funny
but you aren't

i joked with god
got struck dead
he had the last laugh

lookin' for joke?
here?
liar!

hum say kiya mazaaq
hum thehray aashiq
puranay aapkay

bush the pinnochio
with tongue planted
spoke of lasting peace

late into the night
we accost
the object of their joke

don't joke with me
she said grimly
we had twins!
