Create your own "So it goes" story.

[Ambrogio]

I was at this protest and a guy was shot dead right next to me, so it goes...

(PS i hate the book i just liked this topic)

[Tea]

My friend was forced to help a guy commit suicide when he was four. So it goes.

- This is actually a true story and he did treat it like it was no big deal.

My mother's boyfriend used his fist to terminate what would have been my little brother. Or sister. So it goes.

ICE CREAM
John, could take it like a man when
Superintendent Lovelace came 'round with a
board to dish out seismic licks for bad grades.
He was one of my dormbrothers at the Home,
was always reading the Bible.

John had red hair and freckles.
Before each lick he spread his feet wide,
bent over and grabbed his ankles,
then craned his neck around
to look Lovelace in the eye.

In summertime he sold ice cream from a cart
with a cowbell dangling from the handlebar.
Once Lovelace struck him so hard he
fell forward. His glasses flew across the floor.
John gave his ice cream money to his elderly parents.

The pedophile youth director at church
got John a scholarship to college, where
the first semester of his freshman year
John ended his life with a gun.
So it goes.

(A true story. Apologies for the length, but the last line sounded comical if you didn't know the back-story.)
