Anyway Valentine

He’s writing a fiction

called Anyway, Your Honor

about a defendant who

hypnotizes a judge

and a whole courtroom

of lawyers and thieves

not with any deceit

but the pure trauma

of the story he tells them

and the history of this

story down through

the space of a life

a diorama of their

passions they could

recognize and own

and so relinquish

and forgive him.
