I heard about it on social media
An acquaintance had passed away
someone I didn't really know
but he was a friend to many friends
and I remember him being cool
the few times we met
The outpouring of concern is comforting
support manifesting in amazing ways
an odd contrast to the vitriol
flowing through the social veins
Then in the same fucking breath
Someone said that a degenerate
had stolen from a dead man
potentially someone who had been
supportive from a distance
I really have no idea
I'm not really involved at all
but I ache the same regardless
