Godot's Ghost
I've read Waiting for Godot about half-a-dozen times and seen it twice on stage many years ago. I can never make up my mind if Godot is God or death, or if Estragon and Vladimir are in Hell or Purgatory or in a care home near Clacton-on-Sea. Anyway, this isn't really about Didi and Gogo.

laughter in the dark. I hope it makes you feel better, because it does me - and I expect it does everyone with any sense who reads it. Brava!

from a US radio advertising campaign from the 30's I think. It means this is going/has started well - possibly after repeated failed attempts. Popularised by Jack Benny and the like in comedy sketches thereafter.

in this deceptively simple poem. I wonder if wouldn't work better without the first line? You show us all of that in the rest of the poem.

if you'd asked me 10 years ago about the cathartic benefits of writing, I'd have laughed in your face. How wrong can one be? I suppose the point is it enables you (me, one etc.) to take your feelings outside and examine them, turning them over to...
