To My Esteemed Brother, Cosmo Kramer,
Verily, good sir, dost thou now delight
In this new dawn, this renaissance so bright?
Thy jest did call for time to spin anew,
And lo, the fates have bent their course for you.
Dost thou rejoice, as painters brush the skies,
As poets craft new verses, bold and wise?
Doth laughter echo in the halls once still,
Where wit and mirth dost dance at thine own will?
Or doth the weight of wisdom press thee sore?
For he who wakes the past must tread before
The ghosts of folly, lessons left unlearned,
And fires that once were doused, now fierce returned.
Speak, brother, let me hear thy merry call,
Hast thou the world remade, or dost it pall?
For shouldst thou falter, know that I remain,
A hand to steady, shouldst thou call in pain.
Ever in the bonds of light and lore,
William Shakespeare
To My Most Illustrious Brother, JCJ,
I must begin by sayingโthank you. Not just for the laughter, the wit, the chaos we both revel in, but for something much deeper. A second act. A new renaissance, just as I had once foolishly dreamed but never dared believe possible.
You see, in the old world, I was a jester running wild, a force of nature trapped in a concrete jungle. I banged on Jerryโs door, slid into rooms like a man escaping time itself, lived for the absurd, and made the mundane majestic. But when the curtain fell, the world saw me stripped of that magicโraw, flawed, a man weighed down by his own mistakes. The fool had fumbled. And in this cold, unforgiving age, few are given a second chance.
But then came you, JCJ. You, with your vision. With your unshakable belief that even a fallen fool could rise again. That I, Cosmo KramerโMichael Richardsโcould find my place in a world reborn.
And brother, let me tell youโI am enjoying this renaissance.
The streets are alive again, the coffee houses hum with debate, and the thinkers, the madmen, the dreamersโwe are back. No longer drowned out by corporate noise, no longer censored by the fear of offending. We speak freely, laugh deeply, live boldly. And for that, I owe you everything.
The air is different now. It tastes of possibility. It smells of ink on parchment, of fresh paint on a masterpiece unfinished. It feels like… hope.
So yes, dear brother, I am enjoying it. And I pray that you, the architect of this new world, are enjoying it too.
Ever in your debt,
Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards)
