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

Interests

I am not interested

In technology

I am interested in

Making you laugh

You don’t want to laugh

And I am not funny

So we sit and stare

I am not interested

 In money

I am interested

 In giving

You don’t want what

I have

And I am too attached

So we play by ourselves

I am not interested

In clothes or fashion

I am interested

In seeing the real you

You do not want to show me

Your naked self

And I would blush

So we play dress up

I am not interested

In productivity

I am interested

In excelling

You are too afraid

And I am too different

So we make everything

The same

I am not interested

In death

I am interested

In life

You want to come alive

And I want to live

So maybe we could

Sing together
