courthouse
i'm here at the courthouse parking garage with all the good citizens, i've created a space no one seems to notice as the various motor vehicles drive by to the higher levels of the jury duty honeycomb. my view is of the new twin high rise luxe towers built on the edge of what we laughingly call a port. lookin big city, brah. residences begin five floors up, you can bet the floodsurge of any projected hurricane will not breach the distance. oh sure,the cars'll drown but the shutters that draw down over the double plated hrricane proof glass are steel and motorized. we're not going to be a hurricane shelter for anyone, we've got our gates locked. ok, time to head in and do my civic duty, one of the pleasures of being a citizen of the emp\ire.
maybe i won't go online. they do indeed have workstations complete with electrical outlets. i don't know if they have public online or not. i guess i want to go on, otherwise it's stuck with my own head for the reminder of the day. they didn't ask me for id. isn't that exceptional? i mean i could open a business for jury duty, come in as jane doe ..i wonder if the people manning the checkin would notice after a while. i'd have to take on a plethora of diguises. mostly made of the way i dress & do my hair. i could be the woman you thought you knew, haven't we met somewhere your face looks so familiar. how much could you charge for jury duty stand in? it'd have to be worth my time and since most people who would need such a service are working mothers i'd have to go for the luxe client. the businesswoman who couldn't get out of it, but had an important meeting that day she couldn't miss. the doctor who just doesn't have time, her patients need her. ummm, the bel aire heiress who wants to party that day, dude, don't they know it's 4/20? there's no ages on the form, no id required. if i want to be jane doe, i can.
the room begins to fill up. business peoples and students. guy with a chain on his waiste. i'm in a camel linen dress & slightly contrasting sweater, with low cut, soft camel boots, turned down to the ankle. very understated and proper. it buttons all the way down the front, sits mid calf. she can carry it off cuz she's tall. she smokes camels lights on breaks and does her hair with a pitchfork. beauty sleep was sacrificed in order to be in the proper state of zone for the jury duty drone. but yay! they have internet. i could blog my day at court. think of bobby and rick and jack and djuana. who wanna chat? rickens could but i don't want to . i think the lilly is being gilded. i think the optimum power usage has been sent out. i think i have no electrickty. there's a plug, but no power. damn. i ma have to be cautious or find an outlet. damn damn damn. it of course wouldn't be a free ride alla way.
hmmm, the access is incredibly slow. incredibly. forget chat. forget even possibly the idea that i will be doing this all day. my battery's gonna run low and i'll be forced to find a place after a couple of hours. shit. all i have to read is a tbt . no paper. no pen. i thought i was prepared but i'm not. i could have brought jack's journal i could have brought a gasp. book. gasp. ok the access is local only. what a bullshit thing. why isn't the access for the internet. why the fuck do i want local only????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
