rainy day laughter

the joker just sits there
in the corner with
that cackle that doesn’t stop
just laughing because he
is trying to make the best of his life
two dollars to his name
welcome to the nut house
so much chemical imbalance
the whole room might tip
the staff just tells the rest
to ignore the guy in the corner
but he fills the entire room
with laughter without diagnosing
the problem we are all left
to observe a rainy day with muzak
singing silently as cooking sounds
echo from the kitchen
the joker still roars with laughter…
