Dear reader, because we know you love poetry on a Sunday, and sometimes are left wanting, we’ve got another serve for a Monday. This is from our very own lawyer X, and when not working on the Witness K defence is seen performing mime alone, from his Corona cell. We wish him well.

This one is called “Intersections” Does it allude to our fraught relationship with China or America? The individual who can provide us with the biggest bribe will win this short comp.

Yesterday,

She lovingly held his hand

While crossing the road.

He was all the joy and wonder of a life to be lived, with much to explore.

She selflessly gave of herself,

As they laughingly made their way to the park.

Mum and son.

Today,

He lovingly held her hand

While crossing the road.

She was all the joy and wonder of a life that had been lived, with more to explore.

He gave selflessly of himself,

As they gently made their way to the park.

Son and mum.

Remember today.

Hold hands.

And welcome tomorrow with a smile.
