Status Update

Status… My lawyer left me a voicemail asking me for a status update. Status of what? thought myself. I called him and without further due to explain him my situation again for failing to put down the high beams. He didn’t remember me and left me with no option to introduce myself for the fifth time. Such a travesty! —I thought. He knows my address, how much money is charging me, writes me letters and can’t recall who I am.

—No status or updates, I said.

—Well, it is a though case my friend.

—I know, said I. I broke a law and I’m ready to pay the consequences. I'm ready to die if necessary. Planning for the worst case scenario has been and will always be my approach.

—I understand, but still we need to find a way to get you out of this problem or at least get the best result possible. The people of Lulu Land deserve to hear your case.

—Sure, I appreciate your interests. But trust me what is done is done. I’m pretty verse on Greek Philosophy and I came to the conclusion that my power or ability is no match to the mighty law of the white fellow. I’m ready to take the knee and follow Judge Judy’s recommendations. I have not killed, stolen, or rapped therefore my conscious is clean and my heart is unscratched.

—Well, that’s a good way of looking at it, but still it is my job to represent you in the best way possible and present your situation to the people of Lulu Land.

—Thanks, I appreciate that –said I believing nothing of what my lawyer said.

I have no interest of making my lawyer a friend of mine or an acquaintance, wrote on my diary one night. He is collecting money because he is part of the der Vorgang . His role is to take me to the next step of the process. Aquaman and Lady Kokodrile have insisted me to keep track on my lawyer and be always in contact with him to learn where my case is going.  What for? –I have asked them.  There was no point on talking to a lawyer when he clearly was playing a dual role in der Vorgang.  Enough was with the money he was receiving. One thing I knew, I didn't want to was my time with him. Aquaman several times reproached my attitude. He was such a welfare sucker; he claimed to have the means to get the most out of the government agencies and lawyers. He had the method, as he adamantly claimed. Several times I cut him short and sent him back to the bath tub. His arrogance was something I couldn’t deal with especially when he look so ruined and pathetic. On the other hand, Lady Kokodrile employed her passive ways to pursue me to contact the lawyer and learn where the case was going, but I pretty much cut her short and dry to be left alone.

What really matter to me was to move to the next step of der Vorgang.  The money or documents were not of my concern. My time was, this was the primary reason I wasn't interested on the paper work or talking to the lawyer. My sight was fixed on the gate keeper, meet the standards and right after complete next step of der Vorgang.
