Hung Jury This day drags a glut of time-weathered decisions or severely injured syllables sleepwalking in ill-fitting footwear borrowed from a dead poet. I cannot decide how the end should fall. Judgement hangs wing-adjacent, refusing both gravity and conclusion.

Your judgments explode throughout the house turning us into people we no longer recognize. Fueled by insecurities your harsh words pelt us. Then one night when you weren't watching, we fled.

Even the town's feral cats skittered to the side when the ginormous Tommy Tabby appeared. His lineage was ground zero for feral felines. And he loved to swagger about, but he was harmless.
