Sense Sonnet - Acher

Chappaquiddick

Off of a bridge, he and she drove,
Into deep water late at night.
He freed himself, and said he dove
Several times, but could not sight
Her down below; and so he went
Back to a friend's house to get aid.
They returned, and some time was spent
Trying to find her. Hope did fade.
They left and he did not report
The accident, but then "came clean,"
After she was found dead. In court,
He was fined for leaving the scene.

The senator and Mary Jo,
At Chappaquiddick - everso.
