Malcolm Stone

A hello and good bye was all it was
I knew you were a wild one
even at 91

Spending ten minutes with you was nothing
Giving you free food and drink
And to think
To you it was the biggest something
You’d cook, be active, give back to the community

And when I left I never saw you
Fighting the good fight, I thought of you
As I was fucking up and finding myself
I knew
You were getting new girlfriends, too

Breaking hearts, my friend
And I would laugh to myself
Every now and then
And your Jewish attitude
That big ass David just hanging around your neck
If I was to live till your age
That would be a heavens fucking death

...

It was a tragedy where I met you again
In my memory your old ass was out there living
And you were
But at the front lines where I am to stay while everybody runs
I never expected to see you
Sick and dying
Wishing you could hold me once

Gracious in your nature, you wished me luck,
As everyone died and I was stuck
You said, “what I would do to hold you, love, but you can be my granddaughter”

But in my head I broke the rule and held you instead
Death was near, and tears weren’t enough
That I would meet an old friend looking so rough
I pray I will make it through todays meaningless stuff

I wanted to see you since we last parted, friend
But not like this, not when you were meeting the end
So yes, only for you will I break my heart
And know in soul we’ll never part

Rest in peace, you old fart.
