Jail Time.

Thirteen hours in and Manuel, Lazo, and I are sick

So many I hear their sighs and whimpers in junk kick and junk orgasm half hard on rubbing along the smooth wooden edge of a precinct cell and a drunken snarl “What are you doing?”

And I look at him with metabolic hate, drawing myself away…

“Leave me the fuck alone will you?”

And he knocked me into a corner, blood running out of my mouth and I wouldn’t look at him…now he is shaking the bars and screaming “Let me out of here!” … I mean for the Jail House Pest Dept…. and an old red-haired junky came over and sat beside me with a handkerchief and a cup of water and washed off my face with gentle larcenous old woman fingers…

And I gave them all a sleepy benediction…and snuggled down into my junk and went on the nod…

tragic and worthy, those dark urin smelling cells are really the gateway to hell.
So what about my Real de Catorce proposal?

Did you get a Bic-Pen jail tat as a souvenir?
