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.
