We swayed as a group
bumping along the subway's rails,
each in a different stage of awakeness.
/
I cuddled down into hard seating,
folding my hands over and over,
an hour of shifting comfort.
/
A younger man cradled his guitar,
stickered and colorful casing,
humming to something silent.
/
All eyes pointed inward, outward,
some forward and some
looking at nothing.
/
Shuffled makeup, lids clicking,
hush of a finished newspaper
zipped into a bag.
/
We finally sighed,
gathering gently,
readying feet and arms.
/
The city rose from the ground,
lights flashing through slim windows,
a rush over ocean water tracks.
/
Steady as brakes ground their teeth,
a platform ready for give and take,
the city screaming through yawning doors.

I'm learning to be wildly inappropriate, ridiculous, needy - and alive.
Thank you so much for all the support!

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
