Laughter

Laughter comes in spurts

then fades to silence.

We look about, keen in anticipation

of its return. Where is it?

Why does it always go away?

Then we smile when we remember.

Remember how we laughed

and were renewed.

Why doesn’t sadness make us laugh,

then it wouldn’t hurt near as much.
