She said, "I know another one got killed." I asked her how she knew and she said "I saw another t-shirt tied to a pole today." As we talked I learned that when a young person is killed, usually shot, in her neighborhood a memorial t-shirt is tied up to a telephone pole. Later I went looking for the pole she told me about, it wasn't where she said it was. As I was getting ready to leave I found this one.
