Trial

Fragile interpretation of deny
contemporary logic meets my eye
so grace in implication is the lie,
the harried, hurried knowledge ~ caught's apply!

So quietly in my statement's opening ply
am I defendant, or the plaintiff's cry.
Tis ignorance of worth, the jury's why
nor crime unsolvable could meet this ply!

Experience'  motivation teaches try,
the risk behavior, pragmatism's sky
and looking upward, onward thus complies
affiliation's spiral ~ downward dies!
