Comedic Timing
by Rob LittlerContinuously poised on the edge of what could
Be
Catastrophe she waits
Knowingly, practiced
Delivery--
The ability
To effortlessly splice truth’s
Continuity, making
Immediacy laughter’s
Responsiblity.
She has a special
Qualilty that propels
Perpetually the perfect jazz riff in its
Complexity and
Spontaneity so that
We witnessing begin to use our ears
To see-- a certain
Clarity midst the most tragic
Tragedy, allowing the
Irony
In comedy
To be,
Conditionally, the benign
Quality that sets us all
Free.
