your laugh

your laugh
everybody knows it
the kids in the park run up to us
and ask to hear it

part cackle
part typewriter

it even makes
you laugh.

you do it
for the runaway shake
for the drumbeat in your belly
for no reason at all.

it is not a consequence of joy
it is the very rumble
of joy itself.
