I heard a child's pure laughter
today

the laughter of the explorer
When an adult laughs the sound
of the laughter resounds the ‘cathartic'
reason: the relieving realization and
sensation of being free:

 from the exuberant nonsense

the plain stupidity of the lost but

still carefree imitative naivety.

As an adult you are being ‘educated'
to imitate, improve your skills in order
to earn your living and satisfy your
‘kept within sensible limits' will.

I heard a child's pure laughter
today and it laughed for the same
recurring incident but each experience
was as thrilling and surprising as the first one.
So what shall I wish?

Probably that when I am old enough
I want to be able to forget without even knowing
that I forget. So when I am old enough and happy
please don't remind me that I tend to forget just buy me
a monkey and leave me alone . . .
