What is Laughter? by Nicole Barth [10/4/09]

To me, it’s always been relatively simple to explain.

It’s the scintillating, reoccurring rush of warm tea

suddenly lining the inside of your heart.

It can strike as quickly as a flash of lightning

and be gone in an instant…

It is a contest of who can show their chicklets the longest.

For some, it is the sound of wind chimes emanating from their soul.

For others, it is an eager yet welcomed roar from within.

Either way, there’s no denying the sound of it bounces off walls,

into your mouth and becomes contagious.
