She dresses up
like a move star
before she makes
her appearance.
So stunning even
hard-boiled pros
from our profession
stiffen up to take notice,
reporting back later
about her as well
as the trial,
her sleek shape
reprising a role
she’s played before,
as if needing to show off
for the big wigs
like she did at that
waterside event,
but now she has
no camera for a prop,
must play this whole thing
out like a silent
film,
using all she has to
draw the stares of
men,
many of whom have
never seen her act before,
giving her another
Emmy
or a golden globe
for the part she plays
in what might end up a tragedy,
she needing to make
certain
she doesn’t wind up
on the wrong side
in this drama
that might send her boss to jail,
a star shinning there
when all else seems
dim
