Being Known in the Gate

Meeting, greeting, knowing the crowd
the adversaries, the allies, the seemingly neutrals
the advocates, the prosecutors, the clerks
the officers of the court, the sentries at the gate
Being known in the arena, in the meeting rooms,
in the court; at ease among the denizens,
the players, each with their part on this small stage
Bantering, expanding the circle, sharing,
enjoying the familial feel, being known
