THE UNIVERSAL RESPONSE

"A laughs the best answer to a laugh" Starbuck "Moby Dick" Herman Melville

    

        The tickle
                of each sensuous delight,
                the public joke,
                the private jest all seem
                like drunkeness and
                yield bold laughter,
                        bright enough
                                to bring one's straining eyes
                                to stream.
        To mask the torture
                of one's gnawing fears,
                embarrassment, or
                to hide absurd grotesqueness
                        one finds tears
        that yield a laughter
                like insanity.
        But when our human fraility is shown
        or when surprise's riddle
                has been solved
        we come to learn the truth
                we had no known
        and laughter makes us
                with the truth resolved.
        The first response!
                And on its own behalf
        A laugh's the fittest answer
        to a laugh!
