Whismy in the Dark

On Laughter, Language and the fatal flight of Bees

By Sophia MiaPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

ever bloom into flowers of deep thought?

And yet — sometimes, just sometimes —

I want to laugh at the madness,

at how ridiculous the word ridiculous is:

a dick and a louse,

together at last.

If you twist it the right (or wrong) way,

you get: red dick, you louse!

Whimsy is a girl who dances in the dark

and still finds gummy sweets,

and joy, and hilarity —

often with someone named Hilary.

Is a Hilary hilarious from birth,

or do they grow into it?

Also — what even is “bee cum”?

Curse Google and the ease of knowing:

I searched,

and learned that male honeybees — drones —

ejaculate while mating with the queen.

The act kills them,

but still:

they get to ejaculate inside a queen.

Who else can say that?

Let’s not dwell on the fact that

the force of their semen

rips the endophallus clean from their body.

Death by ripped endophallus.

“What did the white Texan bank manager say

to the Black Texan bank manager?”

(you don’t know?)

“We’re both Texan bank managers.

Go sports teams we love.”

Semantic satiation.

Say that fast with a gummy in your mouth:

semantic satiation

semenantic sedation

semen sedation

sementic sedition.

Meshuggah. Mesh uggah.

What is an uggah, and why is it mesh?

Give me shuggah in my tea, please.

Who puts the laughter in men?

Alex (see a C? C a C? X marks his spot) Baldwin,

Matthew Broderick,

Vince Neil —

they come to mind.

For all in-tent-sieve porpoises,

I could care less.
