I am building a heart of laughter. It runs a little like clockwork without the grinding, ticking seconds. Fits and starts to keep no beat (except the drumbeat thrumping feet) and pealing out odd hours. I can show you where the chuckles clump. Where giggles swim like goldfish between the gears. Where phrases ring right and clang wrong and all the pings like cooling metal in between. And when it’s done, and shined just right, I’ll hammer in a few dents where memory fingers sqeezed. And chisel in these cracks like creases in the spines of books I’ve read too much.
