People filed out of a solitary room, quietly looking the other way.
I was amongst them, not to be quiet but challenge the devil.
The devil had unlimited throwing knives.
I was given a solitary meat slicer blade.
The duel began. He threw his vanishing knives.
I threw my meat slicer blade and it hovered on his shoulder.
We both laughed and then shared a cold-cut sandwich.
The first three lines in this poem were in a dream I had. I woke up right after 2:30 in the morning and wrote this poem. I really like how sometimes words unfold in my mind and I just write them down.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

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.
