Sidley Austin, I'm already in binds.

My adviser Michelle has raised the stakes:

The flush in her cheeks suggests that she finds
That a date with me could be all it takes.
Professionals, coworkers, something more?
Work at the firm was once my true muse,
But the drive in her soul ignites my core.
Suddenly now she's everything to lose.
A film with comments on racial tension,
Lunch with her, Degas, Rembrandt, and Monet.
We left work behind, no thought nor mention;
Her painted front was now melting away.
Law always led me forward from the start,
But now I follow the laws of the heart.
