Nothing
She laughs aloud to herself, with him.
He doesn't, but he smiles -
and whether or not it's an inside joke
or a memory
or just the fact that she's not from here, and she's
amused that this little red bus
is for hauling post alongside the few passengers
it's a happy thing to see her laugh aloud
to herself
with no explanation.

Reminds me of that saying about when you laugh the worst thing that happens is that other people try to figure out what you are laughing at. Sort of like when you go somewhere and many people from a different place are around. You start to look up and pretty soon everyone else is also, trying to figure out what YOU are looking at.

Cool that you're posting stuff again. I like this. it's nice. but it's not enough, it's a teaser of a poem.
I like the image of the girl laughing aloud to herself and the guy smiling, the little red bus that doubles as a post van.
I s'pose on reflection, it's not like it's a half of a poem or anything but it does leave (me anyway) a strong desire to read more.
that said, I like this side of you, a more 'happy for want of a better word, so More!! more at the soonest possible time :)
shine on, shine like an arc light

nice to see your name pop up with a write!

Am I a cynic or is the poem a problematic one? It may be a good thing for the girl to laugh in ignorance but the boy certainly doesn't seem to share neither her laughter nor her ignorance.
The staging is brilliant and effective. The seemingly happy little poem about a girl laughing even if she doesn't fully understand what's going on, is, deep down, worrying and disturbing.
