[Cal]

So your secret recipe 

actually out shines mine !

 

[Collin]

 

So you should know, Grace, 

that this place functions to ease 

job related stress 

 

for lawyers and officers 

who nevertheless will hone 

 

their own specific 

talents to confront wicked 

acts that will distract 

 

from naïveté’s ardent 

desire to be better. 

[Marlene]

 

Rookie officers 

continue to prefer good 

lawyers as partners 

 

to learn the exactitude 

of legalese constructions 


via their prelude 

for learning bridge conventions. 

Keen awareness of 

 

forceful courtroom dynamics 

makes for a boon of defense 

 

against clever tricks 

to trip up testimony 

from rookie recruits. 

 

However, Shey, can muster 

her ample wits to fluster 

 

the most cleverest 

adversary and topple 

such shenanigans.

[Shey]

 

But on the street, we must beat 

raw animal violence.

 

So, the battle throes 

can quickly grow from language 

to hard punches thrown 

 

and groans of physical pain 

needed to restrain villains. 

 

Word-exactitude 

is trumped by harsh fists that fly 

toward one’s nose and eye. 

 

While I abide by my 

department’s specified rules 

 

of engagement, I 

still, most certainly, want to 

arrive home alive 

 

after all my rigorous 

shifts without succumbing to 

 

becoming a weak, 

pathetic boozer from all 

of this job’s pressure. 

 

What sustains me is Isaac 

Newton’s cool laws of motion. 

Newton’s inertia 

is my criteria for 

arresting villains. 

 

To stop a force magnitude, 

I must hit it, head to head, 

 

directly, straight on 

with an equal force, at least, 

to drop such a beast, 

 

as Beowulf’s mean Grendel. 

Fifty feet from me, a bat 

 

or slap-jack wielded 

is easily a lethal, 

awful, brutal blunt 

 

force targeting a kneeling 

victim needing the maxim 

 

of lethal force use: 

my bullet straight trough the heart 

to impart a priest.

 

[Marlene]

 

A nineteen eighty-one film 

won many awards toward fame 

to explain ancient 

hominids to tamed modern 

humans who will claim 

 

to be civilized, apart 

from war arsenals devised 

 

to annihilate 

all lives with sarin, V X, 

and others to win 

 

dominance and then procure 

tyrannical governance 

 

to dispense with ‘choice,’ 

which is the voice of freedom. 

The characters of 

 

Quest for Fire gesture and 

grunt to display emotions 

 

with great commotions 

because language is latent 

and infant in its 

 

development. So viewers 

mustn’t translate but must feel 

 

their way to reveal 

the truthfulness of this quest

that tests animals

who battle bears and fierce wolves, 

and fornicate openly, 

 

incestuously, 

at will, publicly, without 

any shame or blame. 

 

Combat is always bloody 

with animalistic gore 

 

to score wild grotesque 

images unsuited for 

a child to witness.

 

There was will power, but law 

would fall to the hands of strong 

 

males that would demand 

that their will would prevail and 

dominate the fate 

 

of the troupe of hominids 

in solid relationship-

 

groups roaming about 

the world of animals that 

were combing the Earth 

without mathematics nor 

statistics that quantify 

 

stimuli nor a 

robust language needed for 

contemplation and 

 

reflection that must precede 

invention, but perception 

 

and astute thinking 

helped compute fire-making 

that anteceded 

 

thousands of centuries yet 

to be lived that would give much 

 

insight gained from the 

thousands of centuries yet 

to unfold and hold 

 

that husbands and wives would thrive 

and drive free use sex into 

 

abuse and misuse 

of much scorned pornography. 

Quest for Fire‘s keen 

 

brilliance is a story told 

by language impaired, bold brutes
