The shadow
said to the substance
Without you,
I do not exist
The shadow
left the room
Then substance
threw a question
against the wall
Not who
but when
did the first person
laugh
on planet Earth?
The shadow
returned
with a red light
shining overhead:
The first laugh
followed immediately
after the first tear was shed
on planet Earth.
It was a necessary
counter-measure
and the woman
felt whole
again
