JURY DUTY
years ago I was in a big room and Our Row started talking about what we did. My own sentence surprised me. In my heart I'm a poet I said to a man in a nice suit who imported Good Swiss Watches. Will you write a poem for a watch he asked? Of Course I said. I wrote six love poems (all to the same woman) and he gave me six good watches.
A few months after jury duty he sent me a note. I have it somewhere. She Liked Your Poems he said. I told her I wrote them. Now, he said I have more of a chance.
