.

And so we set to laughing -

.

We laugh,

.

.

Laugh from our bellies,

.

Deep from the bottoms,

.

From the roots, and over the stems

.

Of each our roaring, rolling tongues. 

.

.

We laugh, maniacs both -

.

.

Both

.

Because it’s funny

.

And because in laughing,

.

The act,

.

It becomes so,

.

So insatiably, 

.

Ludicrously liberating.

.

.

So we laugh,

.

So we spin

.

And we dance,

.

Lord, how we set to dancing -

.

.

As contestants

.

In attendance 

.

At a bacchanalia-pageant -

.

.

Waywardly hoping 

.

That in the act of moving, prowling,

.

Shaking, spinning, twisting, 

.

.

Of stripping, out of blatant voyeurism,

.

Of publicly f*****g, and waving our tits

.

For the flash of shuttered paparazzi,

.

.

That when we leave,

.

We might be given ribbons.

.

.

And exit,

.

.

So to keep to our laughter

.

As we use the tailored,

.

Silk sash, 

.

Stenciled “little miss congeniality”

.

For a rag - lascivious and lavish -

.

To wipe from our thighs

.

Such those stains as of mirth's depravity.

.

.
