Court/Nihil

The case of Rivers vs Rivers
was designated for July 9.

They came: she in her chartreuse velveteen dress,
and her in she-breasts, she-nape,
and she-scent.

They made a scene.
The rouge dripped -- she blushed,
and set herself packing.

Her knew
the wind blew strong, the judge
was drawn off his cockpit, into her
lap...

The case of Rivers vs Rivers
never came up.  Attorneys imagined
it; cause Rivers was only herself.
