Sheriff Deputies My Room Mate And D.C.F. Poem by James McLain

Because he's a minor I will not
name names
twelve thirty a.m.
that knock on the door very loud.

Four sheriff deputies
and one female D.C.F. worker
after my room mate came out
he was set upon by them.

I advised my room mate in front
of them
that he should not speak without
an, Attorney present

I was instructed by one of them
that I could be taken
to Jail
for obstruction.

I thought this very unusual
I mean five
adults against one young
Untrained mind he just turned
seventeen.

The seventeen year old
is still in
the next door down
about
three feet away
he doesn't say much and
I don't blame him.
