May it please the court,
We would like to present the
Facts in the case brought
Before Your Honor.
For most of his life,
The Defendant believed
That feelings only led to
Trouble and pain.
As a child, a simple
Stammer sent him
Tumbling down a
Rabbit hole.
He grew up thinking
Black or white.
Good or bad.
Right or wrong.
Mistaking the thoughts
For feelings, he made
Choices. Some good,
Some bad, hoping that
Classification would bring
Order and reason to a life
Looking for order. Never
Realizing that order and
Reason do not peacefully
Co-exist with feelings.
The years since childhood
Have been spent exploring
Feelings. Mostly those of
Others while the Defendant
Connected with his own.
Long before meeting the
Plaintiff, your Honor, the
Defendant was evolving.
He comes before the court
Fully-formed with a high
Emotional IQ. And a
Keen sense of observation.
During our presentation,
We will introduce evidence.
The Defendant’s commitment
To the Plaintiff is fully-formed.
And not the result of superficial
Attraction or of personal agenda.
We plan to introduce uncontested
Testimony that the Defendant’s
Interest in Plaintiff is entirely
Based on observing that she is:
Happy, secure, intelligent,
Charming, interesting, stable,
Attractive, responsible, honest,
Giving, unique, responsive.
Deep, soulful, genuine, caring
Passionate, intelligent,
Articulate, self-aware,
Understanding, compassionate,
Protective, and accepting.
In the course of presentation,
We will also show that the
Plaintiff originally reached out
To the Defendant, for which,
Your Honor, the Defendant is
Eternally grateful. Thank you
For your consideration.
We look forward to offering
An affirmative defense and
Proving, beyond a shadow of
Doubt, the Defendant’s
Good-faith proffer of living
Happily ever after with the
Plaintiff.
