I laugh

I laugh because there is nothing else to do
I laugh because you look cheap and I don’t
I laugh because it keeps me from crying
I laugh because the baby pooped in the bathtub
I laugh because this is not how I imagined it
I laugh because the snow is already gone
I laugh because a typo makes it the Big Band Theory
I laugh because my daughter asked me, “What’s a penis?”
and I don’t want to answer so I change the subject
and I laugh because I am my mother after all
and I laugh because why the hell not?
It beats the alternative.
