The Six Minute Increment Project

The unearthed car may not run, but the gas has value. It's been quite some time since I regularly wrote poetry. The accumulated muck is thick and deep, and my poetic eye has atrophied like, ummm, a muscle you don't use for a long time. So I give you, or give me, the "Six Minute Increment Project." A chance operation style process to help get the motor humming.

As any good attorney knows, the entire basis of the legal-industrial complex is the the six-minute billable unit; every action throughout my day is accounted for in tenths of an hour. What better way to understand the law, then, than through the process of the Six Minute Increment Project, which employs multiples of the number six to generate poetry through legal texts.
