we laughed outdoors

When reason failed

when weakness of mind,caused weakness of heart

an obstinate heart pressured a lenient mind.

So we laughed outdoors

coz if we stopped

we’d never dam the flood of tears that

threatened to come down.

We laughed for as long as we laughed the tears were not as painful

as they would have been had we cried,

sobbed like a night mare,

bowled like a loss,

yowled like deep hurt,

heaved like the distress-

that burned inside.

Laughter in its volumes lined the walls

against the bile.

So we laughed and laughed

and laughed bitterly.

inspired by this line: "even at our swiftest speed,we could not break from the concrete, in the city where we reside."

 and a bunch of other stuff going through my mind when I am trying to damage control situations that sometime could get out of hand.
