Laughing

Our first response

When oxygen hits our lungs

Vibrates our vocal cords

Is to cry

 

Kids make fun of kids

On the playground

Down the red slide

It makes you cry

 

Not wining

Loosening the retaining

The feeling of lack

Swells up tears

 

Sometimes I am too lost

To see it

That silent knowing

That pervades the ringing

In the air

 

Painful, yes

Sometimes very

In its way

Perfect

 

I try to understand

Sometimes I can see it

When I am not suffocated

 

Life is beautiful

In its own way

All the suffering

Is worth the perfection

 

Of a joyful laugh
