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.
