In early grade school I remember
having a school assembly
Where my class was informed
we lost a kid named Anthony
All these years later,
I don’t know why it stuck w/me
Except it was one of my earliest
experiences of tragedy
I never got to meet him, thinking back I wish I did
they say he jumped or fell from a railroad bridge,
There were rumors of intentional suicide,
but if so, I’ve got to wonder, what could drive a kid?
