The SEC fined Auburn $250,000 when fans rushed the field after their team defeated number one Alabama

Dear Judge Moore

Are you a ‘Bama fan from your law school days,

like George Wallace and Jeff Sessions before you?

Were you there today

as they gave up the national title?

Did you rush the field with the Auburn girls

or were they too old and impure [1]?

Will you help pay the fine,

like the Penn State fans who paid

sixty million for Sandusky’s rapes?

I have built satellites, worked in the operating room, been in a cult, …

I earn my living as part of a group which is trying to understand and treat head injury.

In my poetry and short blog pieces, I want to express ideas with unambiguous clarity and intensity.

I willingly sacrifice rhyme and meter, art, cleverness, elegance, and beauty for these.
