it is the act of the witticism:

"Knock knock"

it is the act of a single, potent witticism.

i don't know where this is going; but I usually don't
it's usually about the footfalls, the long steps,
the brief parodies of movement, the fantasy

here is your story. you can understand what love feels like,
and what it means to be loveless. you can understand what

It is a competition to come up with a punchline.
