Ring
I turned on the TV just in time to hear Rudy’s stepbrother had
been charged with several crimes. The anchorman said four other people had been
arrested as police broke up “a local coke ring.”
It made me think of the worst characteristics of the rings I
belonged to: Montroses, a ring of really tall, really bad singers. Recovering people, a ring of folks with
serious donut and coffee issues. Class of ’79, a ring of people who graduated
high school a long, long, time ago. Bearcats, a ring of people with only a
vague idea of what their mascot, the bearcat, might be. The list went on, but none
of my rings would ever be broken up by the police. Many of my clients hadn’t
been able to say that, and the fear had given them one more reason to get high.
Today I’ll be grateful I’m part of rings nobody wants to break
up.
