Court in session:
Alleged brilliance
arrests your attention.
Beyond mediation,
my case is air-tight
when my words take flight.
Don’t bother requesting bail,
the interrogation isn’t over
until the sentence is carried.
Isn’t my poetry so appealing?
You haven’t stopped hearing
the evidence of my eloquence.
Court adjourned:
Now you’ve learned how
my pen burned the page.
