How often I’ve played judge and jury in my own trials, and the case was always fixed!
You’re not a writer!
You’re not an artist!
You can’t sing!
Guilty guilty guilty!
Off with her head!
I submitted meekly, allowed myself to be imprisoned with nary a complaint.
Yet where was the evidence?
“Other people draw better.”
“I can’t write like Nabokov.”
“I’m not Sinatra.”
The sentence for these crimes: quit!
Clearly I needed a better defense attorney!
