“Invocation Of Laughter
O, laugh, laughers!
O, laugh out, laughers!
You who laugh with laughs, you who laugh it up laughishly
O, laugh out laugheringly
O, belaughable laughterhood – the laughter of laughering laughers!
O, unlaugh it outlaughingly, belaughering laughists!
Laughily, laughily,
Uplaugh, enlaugh, laughlings, laughlings
Laughlets, laughlets.
O, laugh, laughers!
O, laugh out, laughers!”

Velimir Khlebnikov

Here‘s the original reciting.

Do you think this poem is being sarcastic in a way? Or is it genuinely optimistic? What kind of laughter does is actually refer to? What do you think it’s about?
