No Hats

"No hats" read the sign, along with no drugs and no weapons.
Don't know how hats can fit in the same category as drugs and weapons but I guess that's how it is when you go to court
And there I was with a druggie on my left, a thief on my right, and a man behind me accused for domestic violence
Don't know how I ended up in the same room as these people but I guess that's how it is when you go to court
I've never said "yes sir" and "no sir" more in my life
And never once had I called anyone "your honor" until then
I should've gotten Gov and Cit credit for sitting in that courtroom
I think I learned more about government and citizenship in there than I have in any classroom
and I'm still curious about the girl sitting in the back of the courtroom
I left before I could hear her story
Was she just a kid like me?
Did she notice the "No hats" sign when she walked in?

  1. Great take on the hat posts.

    My favorite line, easily:
    "I should've gotten Gov and Cit credit for sitting in that courtroom"
