stork daddy in court

a man's life is on the line

whether he did or did not

and i look for a moment at the stenographer

and she has the same deep-set eyes as you

the same softly poised lips

her hair curves down her face

with more grace, but is less inviting.

and for a moment i cannot help

but think about the folly of all lives.

at a time when i am supposed to pretend

that some are not forgiveable.

our eyes catch and we are caught, unsure who will betray

the other first.

i look down then she does,

faking it.
