I "POaST" about my Life --- 1962 ...

I now live in Arizona....

One of the very few FAMILY pics I have with all of us in it 1962 a family vaca to Mexico the only vacation I know of that we all went on, and it was probably just a day trip or maybe a weekend to the border town El Paso!

My Donkey - Chilibeans!  Phx Stable 48th st. and McDowell

When we first moved to Arizona Judyann was complaining that she didn't want to go to church with strangers!
I of course responded to her positively cuz I like people so much with the comment;  "strangers are just people we haven't met yet!"  I am pretty surprised at my outgoingness when I was young!  Daddy was barbering at Luke Air Force Base and Mom quickly got a job at Willis Linen Supply.

Daddy Me and Tom  (guy on right?? - it's his donkey!)

The Fashion!

One day in Day Care I fell off the merry go around and was sent to the Hospital diagnosed with Acute Hepatitis.  I was unconscious for 24 hours. The doctors and nurses were surprised when I was cheerful as soon as I woke up.  Mom says I told them "thank you for helping me" immediately!!!

In March Timmy came home from Fort Bragg.  He was headed out to Language school in California down by San Diego his first step to being a Green Beret.

Timmy 1985 as seen from Jail

Just sitting here bemused
sitting, not even amused
not eating, not drinking
not even thinking
everything coing hazy
I must be crazy
Oh Christ
where is my psychiatrist
tim 1985

In the gutter

I did mutter

as the water ran round

as I began to drown

flowing down the drain

going faster than a train

floating to the river

not caring what I give her

Just like going to bed

i must be dead.

TM 1985

I didn't run
I didn't have a gun
I had no knife
I ended no life
Now i'm doing time
for committing a crime
i didn't think
i even took a drink
timmy

Just like the bard

while playing a card

having a good time

I thought of a rhyme

you wonder what it was

what was the cause

did it fit like a glove

you read it above

Tim 1985

Kill Him
The guy in ten
Don't keep him around
Put him down
Kick him out
We'll all shout
Tim 1985

Day Eighteen

I'm caught between

the state, the county

im in whose bounty

I don't like to write

I don't like to fight

I am not very bold

But every day and night I am cold

Breakfast is supposed to be a meal

but here it is no deal

we have lunch and dinner

neither one a real winner

a deck of cards we have

 our time to salve

no other games

for us of no names

the showers are a joke

for in it we float

we can only try

but our feet can't get dry

someone took the dice

all have to pay the price

no rec for many a day

this the price we pay

no program of education or work

being here can only be a quirk

my wife I can't touch

contact visits are too much

living breathing flesh they must see

as every hour at night they wake me

where can we go locked up tight

But still they knock and use their flashlight

I have a hanger in my room

but stay clear the boom

because of some person of wit

we can't hang anything on it

By officers and warden words were spoken

by the state and county rules are broken

we are classified medium security

but locked up max for a surety

not even a little bit

do the guards like it

but it is their lot

to be part of the plot

on and on I could go

but all it does is fill me with woe

if I wasn't so blue

I could probably sue

You can Guess where we are

locked away so far

Cochise County Jail is the name

Why do the inmates get the shame.

To Marci from Tim

Thank you... by Tim

It has taken several days for me to write this letter.

In 1965 my mother called me the coldest hearted person she knew.  I am telling you this, so that maybe you will understand the walls that I have built up throughout the years to contain and control any deep emotions I might have.  I allow very little to really get to me and these last three years have only deepened that desire to be within myself.

Your letter got to me, it touched me very deeply and has given me some hope and encouragement to face the people that know me.  I am very much in your debt.

thank you, Tim M. McCoy



I think this was written in the early 1970's

I will still drink beer

Hi Terry and Kay
While their holding me at bay
Have one for me
and thanks to thee
for being friends to jaci
and sending me the twenty,
it will come in handy
and make life more dandy
i am feeling fine
just doing my time  --
but when I get out
I will really shout
jump in a car
and go to a car
never fear
i will still drink beer!

Tim McCoy
