always welcome, never invited

when the drummer for the band Cold War Kids
checks on you more than some of your friends and family,
what do you do?

nothing.

life is grief
shaking hands with humor,
and I am doing my best
to let go
(but also not to let go).

haven't heard from KJ,
or my older sister.

everything is sincerely, 
deeply fucked up, 
so you (I) need laughter. 

Luckily, Joe Plummer,
the former drummer of the band Modest Mouse 
is my friend
and called just to make me laugh.
