great its cigarette breaks and recess

out into the biting cold

the fresh clean flakes of snow descending

chains on my wrists

chains on my ankles are gone

 

out of that cramped backseat of the cruiser

just standing around killing time

shes standing next to me dressed to the nines

black stockings mini skirt chic sweater

white snow piling atop her fluffed and hairsprayed

hair

mascara rounding out the appeal

i ache and im not even in jail

 

just this judges hearing on my case

shes short too and cute

and i dont even smoke

 

snowing white and steady

on this picturesque day

dont give a damn if i go in for

thirty days or not

 

not up to me

 

but i have never forgotten that

jail groupie

a glimpse of life from the

other side

 

rubbing elbows of a different

nature

 

oh yes i got off

years probabtion and freedom

 

i hitchiked home in a snowstorm

dreaming of her

Annie

 

..O..

this actually occurred in the nineteen nineties i got off the judge was very nice

Great Storytelling

I think the beginning and the end are great. This is a true story? Even better! You tell it very very well. - excellent!

You

know something, you have a unique style here–I’m not sure what to call it. Jess is right: “painterly” maybe the closest approximation to what the impression you give..surrealistic? clearly you don’t write randomly, but you produce these images that are juxtapositions of uncanny things. in some ways your poetry reminds me of Pablo Picasso’s poetry. always intriguing. great job.

I appreciate

your word play. You dive into the visual here, while still giving this girl your abstract quality. Just a squeeze of lust, just enough, and rounded out with pragmaticism.
