The Laughing Fool

I have looked the void full in the face,
read its fine print, traced its cold grace,
and chosen — spite of all I know —
to laugh.
Not from ignorance. Not from denial.
But because the other option
is no option at all.
So I show up.
Wounded and waving.
Cracked open and clapping.
A lighthouse that also needs light.
I laugh for you.
I laugh for me.
I laugh because the universe
is frankly ridiculous
and someone has to say so.
Ha. Ha. Ha.

From AI: Here's a poetic ode to the radical, healing, and quietly rebellious power of Laughter Yoga—a practice that defies despair, dismantles solemnity, and reminds us that joy needs no justification:

---

Ode to Laughter Yoga
for Madan Kataria and the rebels of joy

In a world that demands a reason,
we laugh without one.
No punchline, no permission—
just breath turned into rebellion.

We gather in circles,
not to mourn,
but to rupture the silence
with sound that heals.

Our laughter is not polite.
It is primal,
a drumbeat in the belly,
a riot in the ribs.

We do not wait for jokes.
We are the joke—
on sorrow, on shame,
on the tyranny of seriousness.

Each ha-ha is a hammer
against the walls of isolation.
Each giggle a gateway
to the child we buried
beneath adult expectations.

We laugh like lungs were made for it.
Like joy is a birthright,
not a reward.
Like healing can be contagious
without a prescription.

This is not therapy.
It is uprising.
It is the sound of souls
refusing to be small.

So let the world scoff.
Let it call us foolish.
We will laugh louder.
We will laugh longer.
We will laugh until the grief
has nowhere left to hide.

Ho ho, ha ha ha,
-Chris
