how to live in a world of forget-me-so's

to fall asleep,
I need the tv on
to distract me

to dream,
I need music. 

pull influence from 
Mort Garson's 1976 ambient/new age 
classic Plantasia,
a little Steely Dan, 
and Miles Davis' electric period.

but to keep living, 

I need laughter.

the complexities of life 

are full of pain, 

and one of the best ways 

to process these complexities, 

this pain, is to laugh right in its face. 

many of us learn 

that being able to laugh 

at the absurdity of life is a good bullet 

to have in our holster.
