Poetic Justice?

The above picture was taken during a fire drill while I was serving jury duty Downtown today at the decaying, bleached Rubiks Cube AKA the Criminal Courts Building . Yay jury duty! Yay the truly random sampling of Angelenos serving like me or on trial, trying, being cops, working, thousands of us suddenly thrust into the stark, disoriented panic of the city center (after a 13 floor stairwell descent trailing a dour chola-ish evacuee just ahead of me). We were all brought together in the dazing winter sun, Kafkaesque functionaries in a process sometimes referred to as the Justice Sytem. More to come on this later...
