I feel like a lot of us...
who really make an impression
on people's lives--
We slip, so intimately --
like squids
dashing through the sea --
into these people's living-rooms,
and we say, so certainly,
"Laugh. You can laugh.
You can still, just, like, laugh.
I'm not a pot of coffee,
YOU'RE a pot of coffee!
Now laugh."
