All this fanatic focus
On gesture and sustenance
Or strappy or ankle length
On which way is best
To not be like them
The income bracket most famous for arrests
Is never considered upon anything but the way the accuser is dressing as an actress
Milk and evidence
Sexual history and witnesses for the defense
Are severely absent
At public hearings
But intertwining violent thighs
Crossing themselves over and under and back again
Knitting intricate webs of spidery veils over woman heads
Each spit wet link wildly complicated and wholly unique
She tried, in her own way
She really did
She consulted with legal advocates
Threatened to press up against him
With a very private moment
When it was least appropriate
The courts already overflowing with
Selfish divorce warriors
Turned us loose in this environment
Gretel stopped dropping hints
And started collecting
Gathering what was left
Any scraps that hadn’t been formula fed or
Shot off to other planets or
Mass slaughtered into the food process
Hansel has already started to forget
