comedy calms me down.

in the middle of job interview anxiety,
my sister visiting, 
returning to NYC, 
and a birthday on the calendar 
that stands out like lead,
it is SNL, Conan,
and a variety of stand-up
that helps me get through the day.

add some funky podcasts
to the mix, 
and I am a sane boy,
all because of laughter,
which is the light at the end of the tunnel,
teaching me to chuckle at it all;
the drama, the drive,
social media, lost love, 
money and more. 

I like trading video clips
with Christopher,
and funny fails with Josh from nextdoor,
sending Abby IG posts of celebrity face mashups,
like Sheen Day, which is the band Green Day,
all with Charlie Sheen's face;
it sounds silly, but laughter
makes all the pain subside.
