The Best Air to Breathe



A minute to breathe,
the hot air of laughter
swirling around my head,
pleasing my lungs in
chuckles, guffaws, and
giggles.

A bellowing howl,
a peel of thunderous
laughter, echoing
through the night
as we revel in each other’s
mirth.  

The best medicine,
laughing tears streaming over
apple cheeks, braying and
clasping hands over our mouths
as to slow the escape of announced
joys.

The silly sounds of hilarity,
bouncing off the walls,
louder and louder we laugh,
each of us nearly deafened from
the squeals of unbridled and
spontaneous eruptions of amusement.

Each next breath, mixed with a smile,
mixed again with a new hilarious
embarrassing story, the next anecdote,
to be followed again with belly bouncing
cackles and musical chortles. A group of
non-stop cries of delight and joyful noises.

It is hysterical nonsense,
played up to its finest levels,
unrepentant and unequivocal;
satire, joshing, tangents of pure
lunacy, performed for one another
to illicit even larger bursts of laughter.  

The best air to breathe.
