O Captain, My Captain

Robin Williams (1951-2014)


The death of someone who meant so much to you
but who you never knew or met.
Is a peculiar thing. 
It reminds you that no one is immortal.

The death of Robin Williams.
Means to me 
what all death does.
He was important to me.
He brought so much joy to my life
(like that one time
I was in hospital 
after a surgery
and the nurse asked
 if I wanted to watch a movie.
And I picked Jumanji.)

He was important to me. 
And I am sad 
today.
