The Court Sections sat sternly at th e table, N otes crouched in corners, carefully inclined, Q u otations w ith fixed bayonets stared sh arply A t the d efen d an t w h o w as being tried. The circular peered th ro u g h his glasses, The audience h u d d le d close, Instructions leap ed o ut ghostlike From the w ise w ires of the phones. The sections hissed - "The d efen d an t is foreign!" The circular croaked - "S he's n o t from here!" The notes p ip ed in - "W as n ev er h eard of." The audience, shocked, scream ed. The circular looked sternly at the court A n d reestablished silent rap p o rt. T hey executed th e d efen d an t rig h t aw ay - The sanctim onious clauses carried the day. In v ain d id the d efen d an t sw ear H er innocence. It could n o t m atter there. The court w as logical a n d strict, In no k n o w n category d id she fit - She w as a n ew idea.
