Tribute

Impersonal
Superficial
A tribute to a man
I hardly knew
An impractical joker
An inclement clown
Overly cautious
To never reveal
Anything of himself
Hiding under the façade
Of inappropriate humor
An awkward conundrum
A mystery man

I love this so much, for so many reasons. I claim it in the name of me, and Robin Williams. It is a FAVE for me.
