Up close, Alex’s savoir faire
Kicks in—winsome smile, hair
To die for, smart sentence syntax,
Precise mixture of faux nasal drip
And eye moisture to churn a jury,
Capture the AI red bulb of a robotic
Camera feed for TV’s ripe audience.
Two Kleenex tissues, Perry Mason
plot to sway one juror’s heart.
