Est. 1974
-for Daniel Cline
i’m writing this to you
my friend
because the last time i said goodbye
it was passive
i thought for sure we would be
sharing drinks again
i took it for granted
i shouldn’t have
i may get along with most people
but that is not to say i like them
i liked you
loved you
you were a brother soon after we met
maybe even right away
i just remember your first words to me
seeing that i was visually objectifying
each woman that walked in the bar
you said
“man, you’re huntin’ for pussy”
you knew me too well
your humor was apparent
immediately
so was your love for metal
in that Obituary - Cause of Death shirt
your knowledge of food
was as impressive
as your knowledge of music
and what i liked most
is when it was just you and me
bellied up to that bar
truly talking to each other
truly listening
so i just wanted to say thanks again
not just for the laughs
not just for help with jobs
not just for being a friend
but for being an original
there’s never been enough of those
and now there’s one less
Liked or faved by...
