If I tell a joke… the world might laugh with me…

then again they may just be laughing at me…

but I seek no audience… for what they know of me would only be the words spoken to draw out their sense of humor, nothing more…

I needn’t be the center of attention, more of a willing participant in an exchange of good will… where the other person is you… for should you laugh I get to see you smile…

the timbre and cadence of you doing so will fill the room and tickle my spine… its electric and the circuit I am within is between us… and whether near or far we are still in connection and the smile on my face says it all…
