wonderland

And suddenly I laughed.

And as I laughed, I became aware of the crackling,
static electricity of my voice.

The bells and chimes and all the hurt.

The pain.

And as I laughed I felt my heart dilate

And the laughter danced off of my tongue in molecules.

One.

Single.

Molecule.

At.

A.

Time.

Whirring. Exploding. Evaporating into the night air.

And I thought,

‘Damn. this is living.’
