Class of '86




Mary Winters



it is terrifying to see
one of your own
go down the drain someone
you went to law school with
who would therefore
be as sane and rational
as a person you could find

like yourself

his wife turned up
at Legal Services one day
no money two kids
she wanted a divorce
because all of a sudden

he started beating her up

at the hearing on the
restraining order he cursed out
the judge then kicked down
his door which is

not considered good form
in any event

next we heard he was living
in a Y in a bad part of town
where he dropped a teenage boy
off a balcony for making noise

who has not thought of doing
such things but we do not
of course act on our impulses

some say drugs were involved

there has got to be a reason
he is in jail on a murder charge

and we (at least for today)
are not
