A CURE FOR HICCUPS
and so they spent a child's lifetime
reading small print
and getting lost
in bunglesome paraphernalia
avoiding culpable responsibility
and indemnifying culpability
toward all legal loopholes
while doctors sat on piles
of prescription pads
pharmaceutical perks
from the unusual side effects
of a frail supreme court janitor
wiping clean Judge Harley's
"In God We Trust"
arthritic hands trembling
for what seems a child's lifetime
