ABSTRACT POEMS

 

    PRISON
  There are 60 seconds in a minute.
  There are 60 minutes in an hour.
  See, how many?  60.
  24 hours in a day.
  I can't get away.
  Days into the next, seem to flow.
  No place I can go.
 
   The guards have all the power.
    Solid walls.  They are not going to fall.
  A cell and a bell.  All these thoughts in my head.
    No TV.  Why is this happening to me?
   What did I do?  I want to know.  When can I go?
   When will this be through?
   Three meals a day.  I would love to be on my way.
   They are always the same.  It can drive you insane.

 I know the feeling but being alone in my apartment is driving me nuts and I miss you so very much I miss our conversations I am not doing good at all
