Making Waves


How can we tell when God is joking?
If he never uses a laugh track? Will
we know what his sense of humor
is? On April 1, 1946 the town of Hilo
Hawaii was warned of an incoming
Tsunami. Everyone thought it was
an April Fool’s joke. How easily
we can die, by the missed intonation
the way our tongues twist truth
into a wave of water that washes
everything away. Or maybe, God’s
laughter is the sound of a city
snapping beneath a practical joke.
