Notes About The Poem

Without Reason and Without Cause

Without Reason and Without Cause

Doodle around and then relax;
then doodle some more and pass.
And hope tomorrow won’t hide the sun,
though your course already has run.

Cease this whimsical nonsense
—liberate and act, not the fool,
but prove your genius,
and defy the character of rule.

I withheld truth and capitulated;
without reason and without cause.
And abetted false narrative,
and now life is questionable?

Like a tree frozen in winter,
yielding fruit rotten on the branch;
in punishment, my mind crawls
through slums where I tell everyone,

“Chump change. I was never important.
Let them pirouette in my face.
Hasta la vista! (Until we meet again!)”

Investigators cordon off the area
speaking in broken English,
“The facts speak for themselves.”
Sloths, like their animal predecessors,
welcome closure after the occurrence.
                           ***

Notes:
Reasonable suspicion is more or less a hunch or guess without substantial evidence that a crime has the appearance of having been committed and justifies further investigation.
Probable cause is the logical conclusion after observation or investigation, supported by facts and circumstances, that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed.
