He Laughed Only Once

He laughed only once;
It was an open-mouthed, belly laugh;
It was at someone else’s expense;
It was mean;
He smirks;
He winks;
He frowns mostly;
He purses his lips;
He squints causing big crow’s feet;
He gets all beady-eyed;
There is no self-deprecation.
How can you trust a guy
Who doesn’t see the joke?
