how does our young plaintiff plea?

By Gabriel

"how does our young plaintiff
wish to plea on the charges following:

nostalgia
in the first of degrees

compulsive
cleaning; scrubbing; washing; etc...

inability
to find escape from past trauma
and start new love affairs

cowardice
fear to pursue desired ends and
fear of no re-covery

murder
hands stained with the silver
blood of slain dreams

regret
regret! regret! REGRET!

Now, son, how do you plead?
on said charges?"
