Aloofness tangible No one looks up Rushing from One hearing court To another Judges in robes Looking stern and grim Lawyers dressed in uniform Parading in formal gown and collar Such tension in the air Everyone here Has business to tend to None of it pleasant I would venture to guess If these marble floors Could share the secrets Of shoes that walked across them Pacing racing pounding scuffing Litigation mitigation Chasing justice of...

My love said to meet him at three where steaks were the best that could be, the chophouse. I waited a long time and then checked his firm before searching in the courthouse. Maybe drinks with clients for biz? I checked a fave place for this, his posh clubhouse. Nothing, was he up to no good somewhere no man does as he should - the...

...Through the woodlands the riflemen did steam, reinforcing General Greene’s second line, the British pressed on, still on the attack, but they had quite the devil of a time.

In the lobby of the courthouse People’s demeanor Are such a telltale Casual and comfortable The secretaries Determined and debonair The lawyers Focused and unperturbed The judges And then the others With scowls on their faces Nervousness and concern The weight of accusation The slow ominous pace Of being led directly To the slaughterhouse posted on July 16, 2019...

Remove your watch; take off your belt And place them in this bin. Your pockets must be empty Or we will not let you in. Then walk through slowly, just in case There’s metal to detect.
