Michael, where is this money from?
He refused to answer.
Just said, come on, take it.
I said, no.
And I'll never forget that look he gave me.
It's like, it's like he forgot who I was.
That bought him snacks just in case he hadn't eaten.
It was only a matter of time before that lot took my Michael under his wing.
The same way they do with the rest.
The martyrdom of Michael.
From the block.
After Caravaggio's The Martyrdom of St.
Matthew.
Michael is thrown down.
Michael calls down to the man he made his God as he's thrown from the 10th floor balcony to an untimely death.
A dented car roof becomes a crucifix re-imagined.
His legs are crossed, his arms are open in a final act of praise.
His God bears witness to the sacrifice and runs to safety.
Should have been him is whispered within tired walls.
Many more will fall into Shane's name before that day.
