PRISON BREAK

PRISON BREAK

A Poem by rutherford

I'm that guy

who will plot 
a nighttime escape
dodging the search lights
to scale the prison wall
for a mad frolic of freedom
laughing and careening through city streets

but I'm also that guy
who will willingly
break back into prison
and slip into my cell
before sunrise. 

Years later
when my sentence is served
and I walk out the prison gates
I'll savor the wild time
even more.

I was so excited to see you in my subscription box. I will be back to read more tomorrow. Great stuff … hoping the prison sentence is up real soon for you:)

speaking of prison metaphor....yes, savor that wild time...most of our lives we have to be confined to sensibility...but at times we have to break out and get a bit crazy...

nicely done.
