Pulling Taffy



To watch people laugh
brings a smile to my face.

To hear people laugh
teases a chuckle from my heart.

When I laugh with my friends
tears spring from my eyes while I hold my ribs tight.

Laughter is the resilience of our emotions
pulling with the sticky sweetness of silken taffy.

“And what is laughter anyway? Changing the angle of vision.”
~ Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty: A Midlife Memoir
