No More Yoyo, We'Re Goin' Solo

Our laughter is no longer 
Harassed under the strict metered 
Of syllabic counts

At a distance 
You neither hear a sound 
Nor a word

Yet whenever there is
A pandemonium, 
Be aware, you’re not in a flea market

But...in the mirthful grin 
Of their malicious lips,
Thank goodness, we’re now on our own!
