Robin

by Dave Itzkoff

From me to you. You got to be crazy. You know what I’m talking about? Full goose bozo. ’Cause what is reality? You got to be crazy. You got to! ’Cause madness is the only way I’ve stayed alive. Used to be a comedian. Used to, a long time ago. It’s true. You got to go full-tilt bozo. ’Cause you’re only given a little spark of madness. If you lose that, you’re nothing. Don’t. From me to you. Don’t ever lose that, because it keeps you alive. Because if you lose that, pfft. That’s my only love. Crazy.

Think young and you’ll never grow old, The years will pass you by, Birthdays are for merrymaking, Present giving and birthday caking, Age is the state of your mind As the days of your years unfold, Don’t live in the past, Right up to the last Think young and you’ll never grow old

“I used to think the worst thing in life is ending up all alone. It isn’t. The worst thing in life is ending up with people that make you feel all alone.”
