JUSTICE SYSTEM

By Salvatore Difalco



One August morning, the weather

turned strange: black-robed men

with silvery hair rained down

from the sky. They fell screaming

all day and all night, thudding

and thumping to ground, massing

in mangled piles. Panicked, people

ran hither and thither screaming,

wild-eyed, pulling at their hair.


My wife and I decided to evacuate

the city and head up north to our

cottage in Muskoka. The roads

were a bloody mess. “Your wipers

are no good now,” said my wife

as I steered through the carnage.

“I have eyes,” I said. “So do they,”

she said, pointing to the startled

face splattering the windshield.
