Letting Go
Is it even a relationship when one person does all the work?
I held the kite alone this whole time,
even as the winds tried to snatch
this away. My hands are cut
up from holding on and
you did nothing. So
I'm letting go.
I can now
start to
heal.

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.
