breathing in the sun
blowing out the toxic cells
love exchanged in sea

Last night
Media came to visit
intimately.
It tweeted of Robin Williams’ suicide.
Don showed me three of his “Mork and Mindy” TV Shows
while we wondered at his choice of costume, rigid body, alien gestures and definition of money:
“Money goes to the bank and meets other money:then together, they make more.”
I thought how light, lean and hopeful he looked. His ‘improv’ played my heart strings.
I remembered the “World According to Garp”, about a family’s devotion to each other.
And all the Disney characters who brought heroism, larger than life, to my cartooning students.
Some of their animated gestures were taken from Robin’s mimes.
Then one day, he got serious.
About comedy.
About entertainment.
About money.
About family.
It was overwhelming.
He took his breath
and
set it free
in the spirit world.
The audience is quiet.
The curtain fell.
Now he is with us in NY
All the way from CA
We breathe for him.
Holding light, lean and hopeful
Just short of overwhelmed.
Creative
Eternally.
