Laughing

Something silly comes up
Your brain hears it
Sorts it
It falls under the placement of
Giggle
You feel it
First in your stomach
Then your muscles tense
Your throat tightens
Your ears and cheeks burn
A small squeak is heard
A smile spreads
Your dimples deepen
A breath escapes
Then comes the sound
First quiet
Then louder
And louder
Until the tears come
Your stomach burns
You start to sound like a barnyard animal
When it ends
You’re breathless and sore
Wondering what it was all for
And you forgot what it was all for
