Laughter

.
.
As the crows
And I
Sit atop
My favorite
Thorn tree
Watching the
Light change
The shadows
Dance I
Think of you
And gossip
With my
Shimmering
Friends
They know
You better
Than I am able
To remember
They speak
To me
The language
Of laughter
When the
Wise ones
Fly east
Seeking roost
I remain alone
Among thorns
Comfortable
In forgetfulness

BUMP ONNA LOG:   Just forget it. It’s water under the bridge.

Please remember BUMP ONNA LOG is a composite persona spouting comments and conversations overheard or listened to over the years in shops, schools, in offices, and sometimes in actual people’s homes. The conversation progression has actually occurred. The real BUMP ONNA LOG inspiration(s) does often actually use the same phrases in response to multiple interactions.   BEAR is sometimes merely an amused eavesdropper, rather than an actual participant.  Sometimes BEAR is a participant AND an amused  eavesdropper.   You, Dear Reader, may recognize yourself or someone you know … really!!  You might be BEAR or your might be BUMP ONNA LOG or you might be parts of both.    I do hope that you find the absurd as amusing as I do.    Out of actual context, anyway.  Hahahahaha
