innocuous laugh
I am laughing loud today
Feigning all my innocence
Come and compete with me
In this race of laughing
With your innocuous laugh
Why I am laughing
No one knows the reason
Not even myself
Yet I am laughing loud
‘Coz laugh gets me to laugh
Thinking I should stop
But that very thought
Titillates me inside
And I again
Burst into a loud laugh
Putting my nails into the holes of my nose
Why I am laughing though no one knows
Not even myself
Yet I continue to laugh
As if I am possessed by an innocent ghost
