impossible
just won't quit
he wanted to know if he was unbreakable.
home-grown against impossible odds.
self-made from the hardest situations.
he always overcame the road ahead,
when nothing stayed the same for long.
he both feared and loved the chaos,
the maelstrom which became a home.
a nomadic soul, still searching for...
what he already has and covers up,
smothered with his trauma and triggers.
it goes that way for him. and this...
he gets to love, hate, or feel indifferent for.
he just wants to meet you in the middle,
but doesn't know which roads get there.
could be he didn't mean to take that left
somewhere back in Albuquerque,
but here he is, still hangin in there
by a thread that just won't quit,
a renewable resource left untapped,
burning the bridges behind him.

Versus I
Note: Again, I am in the middle of doing multiple things all at once. No luck on the househunting, but taxes are done, exams (first set) are marked (have time off to contemplate what my students do not know); I cleaned, swept, wiped and ran when I could. And it is a beautiful day to start sharing this particular idea.

Verdict In a Minute
This article serves as an index for my series of courtroom drama stories. I started out with the first story for the Just A Minute challenge and realized, prompted by Hannah Moore, that it could be told from different angles and perspectives of various characters.
