A woman in prison saying goodbye to her lover

"I'm writing you just to let you know what's on my heart and mind."

 

   She Got Off The "Dope"

   A Forced Recovery

                Like Most

She Is Now Better Than Him

     And Shakes Her Head In Disapproval

"I Love You, Larry, But I Have To Say Goodbye"

 

           To Live Without The Memory

Of Who She Had Become

       Erasing History And Creating

A Brand New Future

          Where She Does The Right Thing

And Goes Back To Her Husband

       As

           If

            Nothing

                      Ever

              Happened

 

        Perception

                           Switches

 

 

On Carnival Lights

Merry Go Round Music

          Games To Throw Three Darts

 Three Chances To Win A Prize

 

         And It Is Not The Stuffed Bunny

That She Loves

   But The Award

       To Put On A Shelf

   And Look At

              To Tell The Story Of Her Greatness

 

             that day
