memo

an atypical middle-aged man

got no grey hair, only gracious temper

an atypical sensible child

visions far beyond his peers

that's what remains on you

the combination of two

got me thinking, so magical

that you never grow old

named you 'walking encyclopedia'

my favorite book before I grew up

write your philosophy on test papers

the speech by the natatorium as the crowd scattered

time taught me incisive lessons

slowly turned your pages yellow

this outdated book has no more heroes

heroes, they never grow old

I'm a sinister child

had you driving back to the airport at midnight for my left-behind

waiting in the rain for hours

or searching for a parking space and missed our last goodbye

you have your own sanctuary

reticence embraced, communication erased

leaving solely our memories in the old phone

a tatty stitched birthday present, you keep it anyway

the character engraved in my soul

your eyes, your nose, the shape of your bones

with these, I have few to ask for

with these, I have few to ask for
