My once fertile imagination was plowed under by law school and paved over by years of dealing with legal automatons. The law is a profession that has eliminated nuance and subtlety from its terms of art, and any attempt at either is lost on the politicians who have ascended the wool sack.
In an attempt to regain what has been lost and render fallow fields fertile, I am shamelessly stealing inspiration from the Brothers Grimm . The concept is simple -- one story, one poem . . . and we shall see what will come.

The Golden Children (A Haiku)
Magical fish's gifts
Nagged into oblivion
A brother's love saves
