The moon bestimmen
A septimal stemming :

Of time unending
Into space : bending
Ever into calends
And bookend weekends .

Motion to Reconsider

JudgeRobe

Appeal–proof
Paperless orders of disorder,
Of bias and delay,
Dribble down from the dais
Of injustice :

Will not dissuade
The resolve to block
Disclosure of confidence
Into a public docket .

Cannon

Comeuppance approaches
For a judge aloof,
An instant when a lean
Cannon fuse is extinguished,

Poof .

Out of the dissipating smoke
steps jurisprudence,
black robe billowing
Beyond reproach .

Badminton

Shuttlecock

In a striking attempt to fly
Comes a drag–chute drop
After the shuttlecock pop—

A crown of feathers corked
Can catapult the racketed fret,
But the rocketing past the net
Slackens in turbulent torque .

Within the curve of calculus
Life shuttles by .

Racket Innovation

StuntRacket

WHEN THE RAIN ALLOWS, tennis consumes Scott and Steve, friends from high school — they try rain once : the rock-heavy ball skips across the court / lake, water slinging centrifugal .

   Now, Steve is Lendl, Scott is McEnroe in this future tennis champions’ pair : Steve, methodical ; Scott, apocalyptic .

   Racket innovation spells the end of the wood–framed classics of yesteryear, but one day a broken, tangled mass of abstract racket of this ilk is uncovered amidst leafy debris by the fence edge .

   Henceforth, instead of the usual anger outlet of launching his good tennis implement, Scott would intone :

   — Bring in the stunt racket !

ThomandJonny

Splash of ink optimized,
The lyrics are very Thommy .
The guitar is very Jonny,
Greasy hair and arms all octopi .
The tentacle notes bend
And pierce, and the rhythm extends
In expectation of a cymbaled end
Crash, where cycle begins .
