A pastiche poem by Debbie Frampton and U2
2001
A picture in gray--
all the colors bleed
into one, and what you don’t
know you can feel somehow.
Gypsy heart,
to touch is to heal--
to hurt is to steal.
I’m finding out all the things
I’ve been talking about.
Learn to kneel if you want to kiss the sky.
Lend a hand in return for grace.
Shed a tear and then let love go.
Ever after is a long time.

My favorite aunt giggled through my dad's funeral. Not because she was heartless or uncaring, but because she was sad.
Sometimes laughter covers sorrow, frustration and anger, and can both heal and comfort, lighten and ease. It can lift and encourage. It shows compassion and kindness. Call it healthy, call it unhealthy, but above all, call it misunderstood. I can't tell you how many times I've been told that I don't know the first thing about pain because I laugh. But if I don't laugh, I'll cry (and laughing burns more calories).
This blog is a sister-site to my CTD Diaries. I hope it shows that Crash Test Dummies are people too and that all that crashing can bust a girl up, even if it is just a test.
I first started this blog as a place to post my poetry, stories and other such ramblings from my past, but now I just post whatever. And whenever.
