Garrett was arrested, spent the night in jail
In the morning, he was due to be arraigned
Alleged trafficking in methamphetamine
The judge sentenced him to 90 days
He was sent to a correctional facility
Where he counted down the days
He was only thirty-five
On that Wednesday when he died
And the story gets less clear by the day
In shock inside his cell
Garrett’s roommate screamed for help
He hasn’t had his medicine in days
Before the guards arrived
He’d already died
And the story gets less clear by the day
Seems that no one has an answer
Just what happened on that day
What a man he might have been
If he’d got that insulin
Garrett lived, he was tried, Garrett died

This song transported me to my own very first sighting of a Veery this summer. A rare visitor to Vancouver Canada, it only lingered a few days before it continued on migration. birder
I didn't know that day in December would be my last time either. I think about D. all the time -- the funniest, most inspired person I knew. And I just know he's jamming on The Royal Scam with Walt on guitar haha! matthew danger lippman
