The Trial

Ah, lunch at last… I'll just sit down here across from the new girl and… what's that headline in her paper… “LOVE WILL STAND TRIAL…” Bringing back the miscegenation laws are they? I remember when the last one was finally repealed, in 1972 I believe. it wa. Home of the free? Right… of course the same arguments against gay marriage now were used then against interracial marriages…

I wish she would leave so that I could read that article, I’ll wait… maybe its about that church down the road that has a “boot camp” for adult men to learn “sexual purity”: no porn, lustful thoughts, or masturbation allowed (what about the women of that church? I guess they must already be pure)… or maybe its about the way that love between two people always seems to come with a lot of ‘tests’, some big, some small (some ordeals)… or might it be similar to the Scopes Monkey Trial of the twenties, with two grizzled lawyers giving love (romantic, carnal, filial?) a legal workout…

Oh good… she's getting up… let me see that story: “Lawyers for Courtney Love said today that she will stand trial for an incident… ”

COURTNEY LOVE! The one kind of love I just don’t understand!
