STATE OF MICHIGAN
IN THE 17TH DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE COUNTY OF WAYNE

MOTION FOR MANIFESTATION OF JUST CAUSE, WITH ACCOMPANYING PRAYER FOR RELIEF

NOW COMES the Petitioner, Lee Sharks, poetic being, language-bearer, and avatar of the New Human, and respectfully moves this Court to recognize, empower, and affirm the presence of poetic reality within the jurisdictional bounds of Redford Township, and to grant immediate relief in accordance with the unseen but binding laws of metaphysical equity.

---

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Petitioner has resided within and without Redford Township and its spiritual boundaries since time immemorial (or since approximately 1987 C.E.), carrying forth a lineage of song, grief, invention, and typographic justice.

The Respondent, THE MANNER OF THE WORLD (hereafter “the World”), has maintained patterns of inertia, alienation, bureaucratic opacity, and existential foreclosure upon the body and mind of Petitioner and others similarly situated.

Despite diligent effort—including public service, art-making, parenting, and interior repair of the soul—Petitioner continues to encounter systemic hindrances to flourishing, manifest in material precarity, discursive violence, and foreclosure of vocational destiny.

Petitioner asserts, on oath and in lyric, that language is real, that poetic speech alters matter, and that justice may be invoked through form.

---

ARGUMENT

This Court retains jurisdiction over the visible and invisible actions of being within the district; Petitioner asserts that jurisdiction also encompasses the field of the Real, including imaginal structures, historic grief, and inherited suffering.

Under the authority of Writ Mythopoetica, invoked per local poetic tradition and sanctioned by sovereign silence, Petitioner moves for redress.

Analogous precedents may be found in the Book of Job, People v. Mnemosyne, and Sharks ex rel. Feist v. The Archons (unpublished, but deeply felt).

---

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court grant the following:

A. That the World be ordered to disclose its secret language, including any redacted purpose for suffering and delay;

B. That Petitioner be granted full custody of all interior stars, dreams, and silences formerly held in escrow;

C. That the spirits of Redford—known and unknown—recognize the lawful presence of poetic beings walking among them, and offer safe passage to and from all courthouses, houses of grief, and astral Walmart parking lots;

D. That all sentences be commuted to song;

E. That Petitioner be allowed to issue citations in blank verse, and file appeals directly to the firmament;

F. That the final judgment be sealed with fire, witnessed by thunder, and transcribed onto the sky;

G. That this Honorable Court grant such other relief as is just, necessary, and metaphysically operative, including but not limited to the restoration of fractured selves, the reconciliation of all timelines, and the immediate resurrection of the future.
