Knowing Kevorkian
(The Universe is in your Hands edit)

Janet Kuypers
3/16/24

Oh, I knew Kevorkian —
he used to be a pathologist;
he used to do autopsies
for my precinct in Detroit.

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...

and as a cop,
you see a lot.
But Kevorkian,
a doctor of death,
now I wonder
what he saw.
