Angeleno's poem of the day

Poet T.S. Kerrigan lives in Burbank, so not precisely L.A.. And OK, it was Friday, not today. But some verse of his was the selection of the day at Best Poem: A Literary Journal. Kerrigan is a poet of long standing, a former drama critic in Los Angeles and a lawyer who in 2001 notched a Supreme Court victory on his belt. He also writes for The American Reporter, the online newspaper published by former Hollywood community activist Joe Shea.
