It's hard to gesticulate

I jerked my head

To tell you which way to go

And when you mocked me

I barked:

It’s hard to gesticulate

With your hands full

Laughing Uncontrollably

She almost hit me with the bathroom door

And you could not stop laughing

We giggled too

Watching you keep going

Your face turning red

You not trying to stop

The way you usually would

Me knowing behind your laugh

Was a force she and I could not know

Perhaps something to do with me

An explosion I had caused

From times I had been unkind

Or days you had wanted to laugh

But had to hobble around the library

Getting people off porn sites

Or making ID pictures

Of people with funny names

Things laughing at

Would be frowned on

It’s me and you still

And her

The three of us

Full of reasons to love

Wanting so much

To say how we feel

Unable to control laughter

Any more than we can

The tears
