Normal People Prison!

Yaaayyyy!
Normal people prison!
I'm glad your finally here!
Someone thought I stole a watch
And lookie I'm still here! 
Normal people prison!
The jump suites- all the wire.
Eatin' lunch like high schoolers
Calling people liars.
Normal people prison!
His cell mate changed again,
In and out in two weeks-
I've been here over ten.
Normal people prison!
The hours drag along-
Staring out the window
making up a song.
Normal people prison!
What are you here for? Oh same!
Stealing cards, a bit of theft,
A little coke in vein.
Battery, a tiny fraud,
Protests, calls for peace!
4 weeks spent in gray cement
for wanting any feats.
Normal people prison!
welcome behind bars
Feel the metal benches
And the stench of old cigars!
Corruption, scandals, rioters?
Fake news spreaders - where could they be?
Well, this is normal people prison,
All the privileged can go free!

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
