if the salience is subtracted from silence
does it become laughter
does it matter?
who can restrict any body from
trivializing the search for substance
after all
trivia can provide
the much needed respite
from meaningless chase
of a wandering ship
for the safe spot
for throwing the anchor
laugh, o wave laugh
lest the froth on the shore
bemoans
the sound of
the empty cans
unable to scare the birds away
in a parched land
with shrunk crop
