Incident on Stock Island

I was working in this cabinet shop on Stock Island
Listening to the new Aaron Neville tape
It was one of those sticky hot summer days
Suddenly I hear loud angry voices just outside the window
"Kenny! Hold up! Don't do this!"
Kenny's saying, "That motherfucker says I cheated him!"
Kenny and his brother Vince come flying through the window
Eyes blazing, out of control
Kenny's running to the rear of the shop
With Vince right behind him
Screaming, "Stop! Kenny, stop!"
Kenny crashes into the office and jumps on Franklin
Hes an electrician we share shop space with
They're all screaming
Vince physically restrains his brother
And they both leave the office
Kenny's beside himself with anger
Vince says:
"Next time, I'm gonna let him kick Franklin's ass."
Kenny is still hot and punches out a couple of cabinets
Vince takes Kenny for a ride in his pickup to cool him off
Half hour later, Franklin's getting into his stepvan
When Kenny walks up and begins to apologize for going off earlier
Vince and I are watching from about 30 feet away
Out in the hot, tropical sun
I can't hear what Kenny's saying
But I can tell by his body language that he's getting upset
Franklin starts saying, "Fuck you, Kenny, fuck you."
Franklin lets the clutch out a bit and pulls up a few feet
And then says "Fuck you, Kenny, fuck you!"
I say to Vince
"Why don't he just drive on away?"
Kenny reaches up in Franklin's truck, grabs him by the shirt
And Franklins still saying, "Fuck you, Kenny!"
And Kenny pulls Franklin outta his truck
And slams him down in the dirt
And Kenny blasts Franklin
Three or four very hard hooks to the head
And Franklins getting up but Kenny throws an upper cut
That has hospital written all over it
Yeah, it had hospital written all over it!
Kenny stops and realizes how bad all this is
And says, "Fuck this shit" and gets in his truck and leaves
And Franklin, his face is starting to swell up
Like an eggplant
And he walks past me and Vince and says
"Thanks a lot, you dickheads."
I still can't figure out why he didn't just drive on away?
So I get some ice for Franklin's face
And he calls the cops
And we all have to give statements
And I wasn't proud of any of us
