Funny Feeling
I laugh at life
I’m not sure why
Maybe it’s a celebration
I do know that certain events
That seem so serious or infinite
Seem so silly in hindsight
But I laugh in the moment too
Sometimes
With derision
As if the current manifestation
Is a joyful kite
Compared to the monoliths
Weathering in my memory
Maybe I’m just at a loss for words
Because so many conclusions
About the mundane or major
Or minute or marvelous
Are rooted in materialism
So what could I say?
I am fully aware
That none of this can be enjoyed forever
So I laugh
Because I’m just glad
That it happened at all
I suppose the celebration
Isn’t always a laugh
But maybe a “wow!” or “really?”
I never understood
The phrase “suspend your disbelief”
But I assume
That it allows you to appreciate a story
And forgive those that are
Out of touch
With reality
But at this rate
That is every single one of us
