Thoughts lost in the rush
of days spent away
the Post-it® notes unstuck
litter the floor where they strayed.
Like your thoughts, scattered
hopelessly searching for a quay
we gather and assemble
the multi-colored parade.
Was pink for a lover …Brenda XX
green for a payment due on this day
blue for a loan that drained the account
and yellow for a doctor that you hoped to delay.
But the fragments are feral
and resist any proper array
they twirl and tumble into the barrel
as your memories take a last colorful ballet.

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.
