Kevin was cool

Kevin
my brother
was my idea of "cool"
he handled the shit that happened

there was the time
must've been his 17th

talked him into stopping by
the Waterman house to grab
something

I suggested he come with me
he did

as we walked into my room
there was an explosion
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"
all our friends
couldn't have been happier
to celebrate Kevin

Kevin, RANAWAY into Dad's
room
freaked
by the attention

it was that day
i decided against
surprise birthdays

turned out
to be a great time
for us all.
