this one bites

justice, what is it? the man apprehended said this is kidnap but the lonely enforcer had a bunch of rules to memorize; was missing the last paragraph - that is going to look awkward then slams the door hard: next thing justice was dangled on mere observation and interpretation; the cat snarled at the dog: barks do hurt my ears; claws at the ugly brute whose whine sent the machinery into gear. it moved like someone running uphill - and next thing the zoo staffs were placing quarrelsome animals in separate cages; both were adamant they were innocent, a jury was called in for staffers gone soft; paper folders piling to the sky they had barely time to breathe before another folder got placed on another. groans, like stiff joints slowly testing kinetics - yes, a walk feels like a run do not stop breathing as the juries too got brought in having bias, more folders on top of each other - this never ends and the mediator came to try and match a loving story concocted last night; it really wasn't how things were, but can you blame a dog for being a dog? and each eyes looked the same to each eye judging another eye, another eye still making judgments that all came so very s h o r t but of course some sugar and oil can certainly help keep onlookers happy with their lot. then the puddings came, then the icing came, then the cherry and later on everyone was too exuberant on cakes and chocolates that how, why, who, it no longer mattered. it never does, until the clock has run out of battery, each animal having eaten their fill but fishes cannot live on air, neither do cows breathe underwater and i saw a fish-cow hybrid that could do both, barely. grinning while chewing turd, it stank but i saw where this was going - go on, i encouraged till the shit in the fields had done out, the green grass just had too much shit and that's where the problem is.
