Laughter
lifts spirit,
parts lips,
bares teeth, tongue,
emits sound,
destroys defeat..if only temporarily.
The bad recedes..if it's not demolished;
rushes forth again...makes another gallant go
of disparaging ones soul,
but
Laughter,
victorious all the same,
breaks forth, crushes sadness again.
Laughter's incomparable..unconquerable,
sharp and swift...
addresses to kill.
