Looking for definition
clearly an attorney
wanting clear language
the black letter law
no more, no less
the term of art, the bounds
the legal jargon
“Who is my neighbor?”
The plain meaning,
legislative intent
looking for limits, for
direction
nothing further
An expansive response, a
case study
a fact-based scenario
the story of the man
the three in response
rich with details, with
meaning
judging from the
circumstances,
the details deciding the
issue
the spirit of the law
not the black letter
Christ expansive, richly,
in the definition of
neighbor.

The lawyer’s question and
