“The poem is a jar of raspberries no one
means to preserve, a palm to its rim
to keep off flies.”
“…how versatile laughter is: how it suits disbelief, for instance, whether at some awful blow or some great good luck; how quickly it follows embarrassment; how even grief can't keep it out of the house.”
