Serious About Being Serious
You look so serious
when I am not.
Why do I joke
while you do not?
Do we dislike each other?
If so, why do we share a table
and are able to sit,
have done for so long?
Yes, you seem so serious but
are masking a smile?
Are you so jolly but
concealing it,
looking so serious?
Or are you grave and solemn -
seriously serious -
while I try to joke?
