Laughter

laughter

that straight face 

has served you well

through four seasons

and many years

when you could have

screamed for help

instead of letting things 

undo themselves

slit of a mouth

crooked nose

faulty sound system 

and video

straight face

remains exposed

kissed and slapped

seldom needs repair

you've still got

a use for it l see

it hasn't aged a bit

more than me
