Comedian

Maybe I didn't laugh at times.
Under my surprised disguise, with eyes wide, mouth open,
Looking from side to side
To see everyone else's reaction.

---Sometimes he was funny.
Witty about the every day occurrences,
Your culture, my culture, our cross cultural barrier/generational gap issues--yeah, I get it.
We relate.

Maybe I didn't laugh like I did before
Because I was just sad for you.
Because when you resort to that kind of "joke"
You just lose your credibility as an artist and a
Person.

And you are not Funny anymore.
You become a prime example of material exhausted,
Like with all things heart-thin
YOU become thin

inside because you know... it's just not alive in there anymore.

When you went there, when you stooped
On bended knees you should go-- because
you must have no idea of the judgement you are facing.

And honest to the God
I do really love,
And I mean that with my heart,

I wasn't surprised.
