The Mouth
58Quite the mouth
her laugh reveals.
From across the room
I can count her molars.
And I'm angry because
I'm not in on the joke.
*******
I saw a girl laughing in the cafeteria at school and it made me happy that she was happy, even though I don't know her.

PDX I loved this...can be meant light hearted or deep too...I am thinking...it is no fun to be in a room and hear tons of laughter across the room and not hear the joke..but then I have been one to be slow in getting a punch line so I would be there scratching my head trying to figure out the punch line and I would be thinking.."look at those molars!!!"..lol Fun write as long as we are not the butt end of the joke right?.:)
it is, Vinaya. I agree. Thank you!
