The Boring Identity

                                    ...
                                    So, feeling stuck?
                                     Yeah...
                                 Oh, c'mon.  You've got a great personality.
                            The problem is I've got more than one.

Poor Is the New Black

                     Why do you live in the South Bronx anyway?
                                    I don't know, because I'm poor?
                                     Why are you poor anyway?
                           I don't know, because I live in the South Bronx?
                               When you were alive, what color were you?
                                           Susie?
                                         Nah, just kidding.

                      A good cover letter is an important way to get a job.
                                     To whom it may concern,
                            My wife committed suicide.

Grope Therapy

                           The tennis ball is your depression.
                               Okay,
                                  Throw the ball.
                                           Okay
                            Now you have a ping pong ball.
                                         Okay
                                    That is your anxiety.
                                         Okay, my anxiety,
             You have many balls, because panic attacks come in dozens.
                               Okay, I have lots of balls,
                                Hit the balls away from you.
                            Okay, I'm hitting my balls.  I'm hitting my balls.
                                Keep hitting.
                              When do we get to hit your balls?

Where are you driving me?

                      Which burden was heavier?
                               When I was alive but dead?
                           Or now that I'm dead but alive?
       (This episode was another Deep in the Subconsciousness of Man.)

Salix Babylonica

                    I weep still, silently now, for you, for everything.
                                    Don't feel bad for me.
                                     This is the way God made me.
                                    I like being ruined.  I like being sad.
