When my ****** showed up on under the "people you may know" tab on fb. It felt like the closest to investigating a crime scene that I've ever been. That is if you don't count the clock work ****** that I make of my own memory every time I go down Colfax avenue. Still I sit in my living room and I search for clues. Click He is Smiling... And I see myself caught in his teeth, He's Dancing in some club In a city I have never been to. Click. He is eating sushi over a few beers with friends And I am under his finger nails. Click, I know that alley. Click. I killed the memory of that t shirt. Click. This... Is a baby picture, There is also an older man, Presumably his father. They're are both round, And bright and still Smiling.... Click. He is shirtless, And I see myself in the weight room mirror, "#beastmodeselfie" I call him the WOLF, when I write about him. The WOLF! So as to make him as story book as possible. The WOLF! When I write about him. Which is to say my Memory.. Escapes the ****** When the internet suggests it. Facebook, Informs me we have 3 Mutual Friends.. Which is to say, That he is people you may know. And that, I AM People you may know. And there are people who know, And people that don't know, And  people that DONT KNOW THAT I WANT TO KNOW, people that I am afraid to LET KNOW, and probably people that know him, That know of me, that know OF the word NO! NO! NO! NO is a flock of sleeping sheep sitting in my mouth. And now..... Now I know the wolf's middle name... And what he listens to on spofiy. And the all to familiar company he keeps, And he can no longer be "The wolf." Or the nameless grave I dig for Myself. We have... 3 Mutual friends on Facebook. And now it feels as if they Are holding the shovel. 64 people.. liked the shirtless gym pic. 4 people Have told me that they'd rather I said Nothing. 2 police officers, Told me I must give his act a name or it didn't happen! That obviously I could have Fought back. Which is to say No one comes running for young boys who cry **** When I told my brother, He also asked why I didn't fight back. Adam.... I am... Right now. I promise. Everyday, I write a poem titled "Tomorrow" It is a hand written list Of the people I know that Love me. And I make sure  to put my own name at the top By Kevin kantor
