If I were to say hello
Would you reply
Shy words darken my lips, and the shade was all too bright
I had to decide if I was going to be silent or speak loudly or boldly about injustice
I would have done it already since cowardice does not become me
Since nothing could be further from the truth.
We slip in and out of time under the radar of comfortability
If it is fine, then it's fine and if it is not then it is still fine
Alas, time has not afforded me the opportunity to be picky about right and wrong
I diverge but it does not make a difference for I stay the same
betwixt the two and yet there is no confusion

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.
