History Of A Laugh

About This Piece: When deeply enfunked, I rarely move beneath the surface of things. Color becomes exhausting. I think it takes as much energy to view it as it does to wield it. And color, shapes and the scale of patterns are always more digestible in a predictably smooth sequence. The rut starts to look like a haven. So when my sadness has been goosed by irreverence or the unguarded recognition of the absurd, and that chain of anticipation is interrupted, I know that a full-out, completely exhausted diaphragm of a belly-laugh is grabbing hold & is yanking me back to full technicolor life.
