I heard about
this kid
the other
day
the one
who
got run over
I can’t remember
his name
and
on the news channels
they only
show
blaring ambulances
and
well-dressed
tv correspondents
as far as I know
there’s a funny-shaped
deer hiding under
the white blanket
I was I could remember
that kid’s name,
he was 17
or 15
or 12
or 5
or some
terrible age
like that
but all I can find out
is that another innocent
life has been lost
and that at 9
Friends will be airing
a re-run
