> After the hand-held little boxes of the metal-detectors
> had lightly hoovered up and down us at an airy distance,
> on benches marked not for us but for press we waited
> as a restless rustle of first thing chat and paper settled.
>
> And all rose all sat then a remote video link brought on
> from a warden's hand her still some mother's son to not
> guilty plead to lap-top, pin-stripe, and synthetic peruke.
> Outside we smoked awhile, and talked, smoked, spoke.
