Knowing Kevorkian

Oh, I knew Kevorkian
he used to be a pathologist
he used to do autopsies
for my precinct

what I remember about
Kevorkian
was that he’d go out
with us, for drinks, you know

and he’d get a gin martini
but he would always have
just one, and he’d never
join the conversation

I never thought he had
anything to say, never thought
he’d have a cause
well, I guess he did
