Scott McPherson :: Bit 'r Sixteen

I'd heard
just the other day
he'd left town.

In the house I walked by each day
He'd many brothers and sisters

His brother a motorcyclist
His father a race car driver

Died tragically

The koolest kid in school

lived
up the street from me

Witty and smart
Funny and good
Theatrical
A joy to be around

I wish he were here
Instead of there.

November 7, 1992
