After Robin Williams (Visions öF Love)

REMembering hearing 
He said, supposedly
No longer believing
His jokes R funny &
As if losing Comedy
& then Commentary B
Claiming this Proof
He was not sound öF
Mind N his deciding
2 finally tell Time
Comedy's final line

'cause clearly He B
A comedic GOAT with
Moat öF gold around
Godly giggle legacy
Though said nothing
N the moment - that
Sat §trange with Me
2 see them disagree
With comedic Genius

So Me realizing how
§üM consider Comedy
Like measuring wood
& counting woodwind
Measures instead öF
Creative carpenters
Carving our heart 2
Manifest Musicality
öF Å∿Man's §tand-up
Routine reflected N
Apparition Artistry

4 although Mentally
Ill & with his will
B Killed N Dementia
-§till- knew §kills
& so He isn't being
Crazy §elf-critical
öF own comedic flow

Rather, Ünderstands
The difference when
Somebody B laughing
At ØИΣ's Comedy and
Whenever they think
ØИΣ B funny because
Joke B öF Celebrity

Though never before
Me ever considering
That Robin Williams
B washed up -§till-
Am Ünderstanding öF
His forlorn feeling
When turning around

Looking back across
From the other side
2 C §üM∿KID & think
Oh-so fucking funny
Yet struggles 2 eat
'cause people throw
Money 2 golden feet

Now making it Stink
Trying 2 raise dead
Jokes & funny faces
Rotting away 'stead
öF leaving Legacies
Free 2 Rest N Peace
'cause unable 2 let
Go öF famous traces

REMembering hearing 
He said, supposedly
No longer believing
His jokes R funny &
As if losing Comedy

They continue 2 say
Thinking it B Proof
He was not sound öF
Mind N his deciding
Finally Time 2 tell
His last funny line

'cause clearly He B
A comedic GOAT with
Moat öF gold around
Godly giggle legacy
But I say nothing N
That moment, though
It'd sat wrong with
Me they'd disagreed
With comedic Genius

Made Me realize how
People think Comedy
B measured N laughs
& not §tandup∿Man's
Artistry - 4 though
Mentally ravaged by
Dementia yet wasn't
Crazy §elf-critical
öF own comedic flow

Rather, Ünderstands
The difference when
Somebody B laughing
At ØИΣ's Comedy and
Whenever they think
ØИΣ B funny because
Joke B öF Celebrity

I never had thought
Robin Williams ever
B washed up, though
Ünderstand feelings
2 C §üM∿KID Ü think
Oh-so fucking funny
Yet struggles 2 eat
'cause people throw
Money 2 golden feet
Raising a dead joke
'cause can't let go
