Prison






The prison I am in is one of walls

And roads and a grid that I must wear around my neck

Like a barbed wire collar

The prison I am in is one of television

And the internet

And jail

It is a prison of complex ideas

That keep me in the same damn

Rut day after day

This prison is one of cars

And slow poison

Of death to nature …

This prison is one of

Nuclear fear

And microwaves

And the golden arches

And Martha Stewart, Oprah, Trya Banks

Goddesses Spitting insincerity

Prison is Windows

Prison is wall street

Prison is the law

handed down by judges

and enforced by military might

the freedom we have is only \

imaginary/except love

which is conditional.
