court date

i see that the unruly
kid next
door,
full of pins and needles,
tattoos and scars
has cut his hair, and is wearing
a new suit.
cheap, but still
a suit
with a clean white
shirt
and a tie, though
with boots unpolished.
court date has arrived,
his mother looks tired
and exhausted
as she gets
in the car to drive.
