raze we used to see him in the park. always on the same bench. always smiling. he said he liked that we were so close. he didn't see much of his father. they didn't get along. he shared a song he wrote. in a video clip he filmed himself, he sat cross-legged with the trunk of a tree at his back. a friend played classical guitar. it was just some simple thing about love. probably written for a girl who didn't exist. i thought there was something heartfelt and pure in his voice. i shared some of my writing with him. all he had to say about it was that he thought it was kind of cheesy. last i heard, he was trying to figure out if there was a way to go after his boss for harassment because he wasn't interested in paying him to play on his phone all day. we don't see him anymore. on the right breast of the bench where he once sat, someone has tattooed a single word in ink the colour of the coagulated casein he said my words reminded him of: "boobs". 230321

raze he called my dad at the office today. said he didn't know if he would remember him from the park, but he needed his advice. my dad asked if it had anything to do with a work-related injury. jay said no. "i'm sorry," my dad said. "but i can't help you with any of your cheesy problems." and he hung up on him. 230414
