“should he be proved innocent”

The Lady, or the Tiger by Frank R. Stockton

Watch out

Captured by a lady

bug crawling up her arm,

she did not hear

my approach

on the narrow sidewalk

till her mother called

Which in? 

A little boy

said to a woman

as she exited,

“I hate these bathrooms,

can’t tell

which one to go into.”

Replied she,

“right.”
