Sitting at my Desk

The girls at school, the coffee finished
the news scanned, the day begun
papers in folders, in piles, ready for review
to find the words, the language,
the winning arguments, the fine details
that make the difference for one client,
one client at a time, one issue, one claim
one knitting of the pieces into a story
the story of their lives
compelling and convincing, the judge
