Lem and I go back to Rose St and Hamden Plains. Im a better person for knowing Lem. He gave me knowledge of myself. He taught me to see things for what they are and not what they appear to be. We talked at great lengths about books. Isis Papers. Behold. A Pale Horse. Ill remember him for his infectious smile and long nails he´d scratch you with after chasing you off the school bus and catching you even though he gave you a half a block head start. You was the real deal Lemuel. I´ll never forget the things we shared alone. You was all culture homeboy. All culture.
