I have only been assaulted once <br />My life's not through it may come again <br />It is an experience not to be sought. <br />He was an artist I was a student <br />Japanese this artist with all their fabled intensity <br />I stole a minute perhaps no more than three <br />In his restricted parking lot before he reached me <br />Was roughed up a little <br />The cops were wisely dismissive <br />And I wisely never tried to steal <br />Another three minutes from his parking lot.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roughed-up-in-berkeley/
