FEEL JEALOUS of the PEOPLE who laugh and do it together.

Fixed time, fixed place, agenda fixated on laughter.

I join the group and stand nervously in a circle of strangers.

Deep breathing, stretching, chanting and clapping -

gentle warm-up, only to deceive.

In no time, injected with rich hormones of deliberate lies

the mad medley of laughter turns into an unruly riot.
