You point your accusing finger at me,
and you ask
insistently:
“How do you plead?”
“How do
you plead?”
How do I plead?
How do I plead?
Do you really want to know
how I do
plead?
I plead “not guilty,”
by
reason of your insanity.
That's how I plead.
I plead “not guilty,”
because
that is the way I feel.
But, ultimately,
ultimately,
I plead “not
guilty,”
because it, rather, suits me well
to make such a plea,
“not guilt,”
“not guilty,”
when the entire world seems
to
stand united against me.
Against me.
I plead “not guilty,”
ultimately,
ultimately,
though, in
truth, I know,
it
matters not in the least,
how I plead. -
I am already...condemned.
