a good time

he was one of those
guys
that had frosted mugs in
the freezer.
he'd make a big deal out of it.
holding up
the frosted
glasses to show you
what he had done.
he was good at the grille
too.
a big white chef's hat
on.
telling everyone to step
back.
i got this, he'd say.
as the meat sizzled and the
smoke rose.
he was a good time,
all the time,
so it was a surprise when
he jumped
off the bridge.
who knew, who had a clue,
that he was done.
