    State Rested
    Justifying,
    on that day,
    witness testifying,
    but clearly hearsay,
    motions filed,
    denied,
    Prosecutors running late,
    chamber filled with a heated debate,
    he objects,
    court rejects,
    she detects,
    no one is perfect,
    courtroom filled,
    deputies by the door,
    motions on the floor,
    declined a cross-examination,
    frustration
    builds in our court-system,
    tempers tested,
    the State rested.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
