Laughter club
Laughing at you
laughing at me
together we laugh
in a group of fifty
Strangers from different corners
shades, prejudices and beliefs
congregate out loud
on a common heath
Watched by the band stand
coppered and rusty
we shake our bodies;
toned, fat, and crusty
Indulging the occasion
we shed our inhibitions
and open our arms
to an old Indian tradition
Walk like a penguin
and laugh like a fish
throw out your tension
and dance with your fists!
From the pits of our stomachs
to the tips of our souls
we laughed till we wheezed
and blew all we could hold
we found
we feared
we laughed
we shared
Shallow, intimate, gut-wrenching laughter
But all the time
laughing at you laughing at me
together all laughing for £2.50.
