A pastiche poem by Debbie Frampton and U2
2002
The sky falls--
takes the blame--
covers the shame--
I’m strung out like a guitar
and you don’t even look away.
I wasn’t jumping --it was a fall.
Just trying to find a decent melody--
trying to follow the scatter of light.
But love has to be believed to be seen.

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.
