Maybe — it wasn’t meant for youI once heard Ram Dass explain the joke labeling system they developed at Millbrook — certain jokes were on repeat — in order to save time they numbered them — for those in the know — just calling out #64 could induce a deep chuckleHaving come across those jokes in the wild — we can attest to their power — I believe if we were to number the recurring weird moments — maybe it would help diffuse their eerieness Often — by the light of day — the oddest oddities are seen as subclasses — or versions of the Divine Jokes — but out of context — the laughter becomes a singular laugh — hollow and filled with dreadIf you can find the originating joke — everything immediately becomes lighter24 — 23.9 — 23.8 — 23.7 — 23.6 — 23.5 — 23.4 — 23.3 — 23.2 — 23.1 —23!
