My Day in Court
Standing, shivering
Trying to be brave
Reading of the charges
Waiting my turn
“What do you plead?”
Remembering my counsel
Don’t admit to anything
Stay mute, impassive
Plead ‘not guilty’
Hope for a technicality
Pray for a sympathetic jury
Confuse a witness
Cross-examine the expert
Develop an alibi
Appear refined
Emote confidence
Don’t take the stand
Refuse to answer questions
Guilt demands proof
Evidence is hard to come by
A hung jury
Leaves me unhung
There is no truth
If the doubt can be shadowed
There is no conviction
If the case is dismissed
Perhaps a lesser charge
A bargaining chip
Yet when can conscience clear?
If the “see” is murky
Someday
Someplace
Somewhere
Somehow
Somewhat
Some moment
Our lives will be revealed
Innocence impossible
Defense futile
The best plea?
Guilty.
Our fate left to the mercy
Of a court which considers how merciful we be
The sentence will eliminate
All questions
Closing the dangling clause.
“Hear ye! Hear ye!”
I am guilty.
An amazing verdict:
The truth has set me free.
