Court Date - on visiting the Supreme Court, June 2018

I walked up Second Street to First.
The court in session, I stood in line -
A twenty minute wait at worst,
To get a glimpse of the famous Nine,
To hear debate or decisions read.
What would be struck or be upheld?
Who can enter? Who gets expelled?
But too many others stood ahead,
Of me, so I was turned away.
To try again some other day.
While up above they upheld "Don't Enter,"
I toured the exhibit in the Visitor's Center.
While up above, they closed a door.
I browsed the Supreme Souvenir Store.








1 The line outside the court dispersed,
2 While inside others would be expelled
3 When earlier rulings were reversed -
4 And shutting out would be upheld.
5 We single out with "Do not enter."
