When I need a hand to hold
Someone to tell the truth
Would it be okay if I came home to you?
There’s still people milling around, waiting for the speeches to begin. Perfect time to mingle.
“Howdy there, Mr. Dume,” I say. “Heard you endorsed me. Wanted to thank you for your support. In person.” I offer my hand for a shake. I don’t know why he chose to endorse me, but you know, I’m glad he did. I guess there’s some life in these old bones yet. He’s a young one. Probably still in the reaping If I had to guess.
But it doesn’t feel right calling him by his first name. If a young man is going to act like a man instead of a boy in front of the cameras, then I’ll treat him like one. It’s only fair. You can’t expect people to respect you if you don’t respect them.
Words to live by, in my opinion. And there’s a few graffiti tagging punks who could learn a thing or two from someone like Olorin Dume. Now I won’t name names, but they know who they are. The ones tagging the name of their preferred candidate around the district. Kids these days. From what I know of Kieran Emberstatt, I doubt he asked them to do this, but they took it upon themselves to do so anyway.
Oh well.
In the end, it’s just paint, and that’ll come off.
