His laugh born from a chuckle
as the bus slid to a hissing stop.
People entered, people left,
the air vacated then re-filled without a smile.
Laughing harder,
a maniacal edge fueled on the fear,
the madness that
eyes should widen around him;
mothers holding their children closer;
“He could do anything!” plain on their faces.
Two hissing stop and goes of laughter was
the limit of The Grim.
A tight white jacket and short drive later,
the laughing man couldn’t stop
as open eyes viewed unvarnished,
the constructed, grim
reality where continuous laughter is not permitted.

His laugh born from a chuckle
as the bus slid to a hissing stop.
People entered, people left,
the air vacated then re-filled without a smile.
Laughing harder,
a maniacal edge fueled on the fear,
the madness that

mothers holding their children closer;
“He could do anything!” plain on their faces.
Two hissing stop and goes of laughter was

A tight white jacket and short drive later,
the laughing man couldn’t stop
as open eyes viewed unvarnished,
the constructed, grim
reality where continuous laughter is not permitted.
