The present <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The past <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The present is as thin as a ruler <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the shallow space<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As seen on an hour glass <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is slight <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And soon it will become the past <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The past no longer exists <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future will exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But at present it is nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you concluded your defence Joe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe this is a straightforward question <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you assassinate the politician <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please explain <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did not assassinate the politician <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you denying responsibility <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When there were hundreds of witnesses <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then who was responsible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was there another assassin <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are talking in riddles Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My pistol was responsible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I cannot physically have that relationship with a bullet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you pulled the trigger <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is correct <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was it was your intention to kill the politician <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot answer that question <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it was in the past <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The past no longer exists <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here in the present you are accused of an assassination <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is an abstract <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not physical <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am here in court <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sitting down <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a little cold <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the courtroom is highly ventilated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am chewing gum which has become tasteless <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future I will dispose of this gum <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future will become the present <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But at present it is nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I will continue chewing the gum <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it is not a crime I do not like gum to be chewed in my court <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clerk with pass you a tissue <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please dispose of your gum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
