Extant species of my anxiety live—unwillingly
Conserved in my brain, my responses—classified not in
Linnaean taxonomy and Latin but by
Incidences medicine has made rarer, my fear-
Plaguing thoughts eclipsed with
Sounder, kinder logic trying to drive my overthinking
Extinct.

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.
