Of All the Hearts in All the World
Why did you have to take mine with you?
after intoxication levels breach there is
nothing to stem this
nexus totality of more love than thought humanly possible
interlaced with loss which proceeds to crumble the core of my earth
victory survives as a foreigner
exiled from sight-sound-presence-memory through a
rupture of sufficient violence to leave the
sky with slashes tortured and torn in places—slabs of celestial
anatomy semi-eviscerated near a bridge I planned to build as a memorial
reflection to mirror inner turmoil coated with thinly veiled pleasantries in the
years since you left…since these last dregs of passion—without hesitation—I would lay life down to gift you

The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.

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.
