The Best Laughter

There are times
when I look in her eyes
and see the same thought
reflected.
An idea askew,
no one else knew
I was thinking,
let alone share.
We hear the same line,
from inside the mind,
we allow our humor
to ripen.
And then gush it out
when we're alone
or over the phone,
a pressure relief
allows us to beef
without doing harm to another.
It's an intimate thing
that allows us to bring
our own small world into focus.
And insulates us in
our own small cocoon,
a sound proofed room
that keeps us in and them out.
