Their arguments over the written word,
Mean one thing today, another tomorrow,
They hold court, high up on their bench,
Black-robed Inquisitors,
Hacking away at language with mallet and chisel,
To shape something, intended or not -
Or like cloaked wizards casting Latinate spells,
Caped stage magicians, now you see it, now you don't,
Thieving pickpockets who've studied the technique,
Practiced the sleight of hand,
To lift your wallet and ID without you even feeling it.
