(Blind) Lady of Justice

Chris Wind

Free verse
(Blind) Lady of Justice
we were talking about war and sports
and the whole double standard thing about violence–
it’s okay if you’re in a uniform:
a uniform legitimizes, i say
it anonymizes, you say at the same time

we stop
wondering if they’re the same

wondering why they’re the same

wondering who put the blindfold
on the Lady of Justice
