Mike and the attorney

Mike found himself in some trouble
of which he couldn’t escape by himself
one day someone knock on his door
and he had to “come with us, sir”
A twenty-four years old girl
brutally ripped off
twenty-three stabs in the ribs
and one, only one
in the middle of the face.

In the court, where he had the right
to stay silent
and have an attorney
he found this lady
what was the name…?
Well, I can’t remember.
They knew each other from being a couple
a bunch of years ago
they hugged
and two kisses in the cheek,
despite the current situation, Mike smiled.

The process was fast
circumstantial evidence
no witness, no proof
and a superb final speech
“...the defendant not guilty”
And Mike dropped the bomb
“Shall we go for a drink afterwards?”
The answer took just three seconds
and they meet in that old coffee of them
which brought memories to both.
The date was typical, what have you done, where have you been
and what matters the most, are you single?
“Yes I am”, said them both.
Mike smiled again
and they ended in bed.
The next day, he woke up, again
one of those clear mornings
with a girl by his side
with twenty-four stabs in the ribs


and only one in the face.
