Unsubpoenaed Truths – v3

No one there to speak
the truths that they know
empty witness chairs
a rule barring relevant evidence;
What conclusion can they reach
when the witnesses aren’t there?

Relying on skills
they may not have at all;
unsubpoenaed truths
hanging in the air;
Not on the record
the witnesses were not there.
