A number
slowly ticking up
counting the years
you've been alive

Every year
is a new adventure
bringing with it
challenges
and opportunities

While the numbers 
are still quite low
the years seem

hunched over
staring
unblinking
at a screen
finger twitching
scrolling
continuously 
not absorbing
just skimming
looking at headlines
proclaiming things like
death
destruction
famine
it's nothing new

Humor is a raindrop dripping off your nose.

Humor is a bumblebee stuck inside a rose.

Humor is a kitten all done up in bows.

Humor is a flower stuck between your toes.
