I don’t ask you to excuse me from the claims of proper behavior,<\/p>\n
Just pardon me and sign the papers that will release me from prison<\/p>\n
And help me find a more welcome home<\/p>\n
More alluring than the these four cinder block walls.<\/p>\n
I have nobody but my self to thank, you miht say,<\/p>\n
On the principle that if you lie down with dogs,<\/p>\n
you are bound to get fleas,<\/p>\n
Yes, \u00a0I could have hung out with different people,<\/p>\n
and certainly been suspicious when they asked to hang out<\/p>\n
their money to dry in my place.<\/p>\n
I have been travelling, in my own way,however.<\/p>\n
“How do you do that” you may ask.<\/p>\n
I simply check out library \u00a0books on travel –<\/p>\n
The desire to be elsewhere a common sense among prisoners,<\/p>\n
I find a vividly compelling illustration to check out,<\/p>\n
and go there in my mind for a time.<\/p>\n
I had a summer in Spain,<\/p>\n
an. afternoon on skis in the Alps,<\/p>\n
or have a NIce day or<\/p>\n
a festival in Cannes.<\/p>\n
It reassures me to know you wear my picture<\/p>\n
in a locket around your neck.<\/p>\n
I am depending on you,<\/p>\n
and remind you can thank you for getting me discovered,<\/p>\n
I’ve gotta run.<\/p>\n
They don’t let me jog here<\/p>\n
and my posture is poor from the short beds<\/p>\n
so I am bent out of shape…..<\/p>\n
this prompt helped me create a totally silly non poem<\/p>\n
of which I am ashamed<\/p>\n
