I knew I was coming home, I thought they would consider acquittal, I was disappointed that they didn't.

Human Judges On The Suffering Of Others

we read the same books
of the law both civil and
criminal: you end on an
acquittal and i end on a
conviction of a conviction.

we are but human judges
on the suffering of others.

Among those people lucky enough, if you will, to have actually been brought to trial as a political prisoner, several historians have said there has not been one acquittal since the Bolshevik Revolution.

Red Rose

red rose raped
apparently for no reason
by this bee
without a sting

well, what nature can hand
on a stingless bee
is a verdict of an acquittal

midlife crises
that is the ground
precisely

I always received much more satisfaction as a defense attorney in obtaining an acquittal for a client than I ever have as a D.A. in obtaining a conviction. All my interests and sympathies tend to be on the side of the individual as opposed to the state.

Snake Charming

The occult was scrounging
in stringent way
to resurrect the past.

No answer. There will never be
an answer. Where questions stand
an answer was not there.

Acquittal in setting sun. Endless
love making had passed
with the moon. We will not-

recreate the bronzed body.
Night, curse and a tale of
purple, pink horse, accepting

a libation for the penile
god. A savior was present
to watch the ceremony of surrender.

Nicholas Bindle

Were you not ashamed, fellow citizens,
When my estate was probated and everyone knew
How small a fortune I left?--
You who hounded me in life,
To give, give, give to the churches, to the poor,
To the village!--me who had already given much.
And think you not I did not know
That the pipe-organ, which I gave to the church,
Played its christening songs when Deacon Rhodes,
Who broke and all but ruined me,
Worshipped for the first time after his acquittal?

Shortfall

Is it possible
to decide differences?
Between great
works signifying lesser poets?
And inferior workings...
typifying recognized masters?

When such works
stand alone in isolation
with no prior
knowledge indicator
in non-volume...
unpublished form.

Is perceived
textured style
stretching margins;
seemingly fixed?
Exemplifying weighted scales;
symbolizing measure!

the case of Mr. Death

Mr. Death you are accused
of stealing live people
and killing them
instantaneously
without giving them
notice and the
opportunity to
prepare
so that at least they
can finish their
business

not only that Mr. Death
you are also doing
some illegal activities
as genocide
mass poisoning
of people
mass killing during
wars, typhoons,
