kenny

he would break into a whistle
at any moment, like
he was eating bird seed
all day.
cool in his button
down yellow sweater,
his blue pants
and white shoes.
he was bing and frank
and dean
all in one.
there was always a wink
in his eye,
a grin
on his face,
shaking his head at the world
bemused
but not worried.
it was hard to see him
pass on.
the world changes,
not always for the better,
one life at a time,
coming and going.
