Hubris Code

Boastful oaths
are illegal unless you are dying.
If you feel the law you know.
If you feel

The Law you know
how someOne writes the law
along gradients of air and skin
that wild creatures argue about.

They are erect
or they are dogged down
and knees are designed to show
how down they are.

You will not risk it
says The Law.
You dare not claim
too much.
