'Former boxing world champion
Johnny Tapia was in critical condition
at a Los Vega hospital
after apparently falling at his home
and losing consciousness
early Saturday, hours after
he was charged with
possessing drug paraphernalia.
Tapia, a five -time world chanpion
with a history of problems with the law and drugs
had returned to his home in Las Vegas
after the confrontation with poilce
and was with his wife, Teresa,
when he fell
according to Trayce Zimmerman,
Tapia's publicist.
'(Teresa) said he felt depressed,
and then he just fell down
and lost consciousness.'
Zimmerman said.
Tapia,35 was placed
on a respirator and was
being treated for head trama
Zimmerman said. - Assiciated Press

You know, this is a strange 'poem, ' because at first, it just seems factual, a news report...but then you start to think of this life, wasted, thrown out for a 'high.'
That line, and then he just fell down..........covers more in six words than a lot of very long poems, and makes me stop and think...
