Arthur Engoron - by Esther Cohen
Preface: I’ve known
a few Judges (four including
my good friend Ann O’Shea)
but I have never
written a judge poem. Until now.
Arthur Engoron deserves
his own poem. Maybe even a song.
(He played in a bar band for years.
Said they were good enough.)
This week he ordered
DT to pay $450 million dollars
in a civil fraud suit.
That in itself is a poem.

Arthur Engoron

man we will remember
because $450 million
dollars is a number
no one will forget.
