I remember when I was young and mxy used to take me to the park so I can play with other kids. We would sometimes see Ray pass by and mxy would point to him. "See that man" says mxy, "that is a great man and I want you to grow up like him".
I was young then, but I already believed what mxy was saying. Ray is a great man. I wanted to grow up like him. I wanted to watch Dr. Who and I wanted to vote for Obama and I wanted to study poetry under the tutelage of that orange greek restaurant owner. If I was given a chance to live 5 different lives at the same time I would have chosen to live all of them as someone who followed Ray's footsteps.
Nowadays, when I pass by the park, I look back and see that mxy was wrong, and his david bowie obsession almost broke the boards. I feel somewhat alienated from the world, as I look at kids playing their silly little games and stupid little toys. I try to hold back tears as my last few memories of the park was seeing R. Kelly watching some kids play, sweating like the black pedophile motherfucker that he is.
