Faceless Fears
A recurring nightmare I had for three months.
Time aches, so I thought nothing when I walked out the door
I stood there bewildered, that shouldn’t be out here
Silence echoes but its scream was a roar
The noise and hustle from the day was the final chore
My world can be calmed by my dreams that are near
The air is still- but it's there, weeping deplore
For who? No matter, I walk out the door
The creature stands there with a violent austere
It’s features tear as it screams and yells and roars
Why is it back? My mind breaks and pours
Its voice grows louder “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
The being yelled to implore
Frightened, I turn for the door
Now back in my bed it can disappear
I will not fall asleep to deafen its roar
I never know what the creature came for
Tranquil does not exist here
Only the beast by the tree that waits outside my door
This faceless beast I abhor

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

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.
