Happenstance

what did she do?
she made me laugh.
she made me experience a strange expression. 
she made me laugh. 
she was strange - and more so a stranger to me.
the laughter strangled me.
what did she do?
I would put it into words… 
a poet’s style of words, to be exact..
this was the exact moment - that I laughed 
she made me laugh.
and I’m not entirely convinced that this was a 
 —coincidence 
I laughed. 
longing to hide in the laughter.
exactness.
what did she do to me - exactly?
she asked me.
