Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Paneled walls,
formal distances, raised dais
bifurcated space, Hatfields and McCoys,
bride and groom
Peculiar pews, wide oak
masculine pews,
held rows, clusters really
of suits, pin-stripes,
conservative ties, white
and blues pressed shirts
waiting furtively, false patience
ritual space, defined roles
players on this solemn stage
billed hourly, justice meted out
in starched words, by black-robed pens
if it pleases the court
