I sit in here and try to
feign intelligence while the
inmates notice or fail
to notice, and the guard
drones on and on. Some
kids can pick up on it but
dare not ask, because I've
changed today. Instead of
thinking about
about?
anything,
I think about you.
I close my eyes and half
dream, and no one
disturbs me. My happiness
makes me restless
and I grow bored with
having to imagine you
my mind races
l e t h a r g i c a l l y
I glare out at these smooth
whores but reflect that
sometimes it is better to be fair.
So I don't let them see me smile.
