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.
