Hammered out of sleep or lack
Hammered out of tire gravel
Hammered out of sprained ribs
Hammered out of new cartoons
Struck from the record for insolence
Struck from the record for rambling
Struck from the record for irrelevance
Struck from the record for pomposity
Worn and drawn from smokey oak
Worn and drawn from his father's cloth
Worn and drawn from coughed jokes
Worn and drawn from catastrophe waffles
Recorded for posterity
Recorded for tweny bucks an hour
Recorded for an archivist's morning
Recorded for fun
Sliding out of the stand like a snake toward an apple
Sliding out of the stand like brick upon oiled brick
Sliding out of the stand for lack of coordination
Sliding out of the stand like dissipating clouds
puffed through all this woodwork, dissappearing up
his own words, freefalling, freefalalalalaing, this
won't be the last he sees a courtroom door.
