I saw her

standing at the bus stop.

I asked her for a date

she laughed

We went to a rave

shelaughed

She laughed as we drank wine

as we made love

as she slept

When she awoke in the morning

during our shower

at breakfast

and when I left her at the bus stop

where I first picked her up.

Now every day I drive by

she is always at the bus stop

laughing...

In the

snow

rain

hail

droll

---

Because I take life so seriously

I've never stopped to see her again

But I still hear her

especially on stormy nights laughing

and though it scares me so

someday too

I will laugh like her

---

She no longer has the body at the bus stop

Her laughter every full moon

tries so desperately to enter me

But as long as I refuse to laugh

I will never become possessed by her.
