Laugh It Off

Have you ever noticed the occasions
When you’re most embarrassed
Oftentimes become the source of
Great amusement later on?
How the chemistry of symmetry
Beguiles the sense of dignity
And breaks it down to comedy
When every threat is gone.
Much as danger becomes thrill,
Threat evoking such a rush of
Thought-devoured adrenaline
Coursing wildly vein to vein.
Later on our muddled matter
Lingers long on how it cheated
Death from claiming one more victim,
Left the Reaper in the rain.
You might choose to laugh it off,
Pay the price another day.
It will all be clearer when,
At last, we put our toys away.
