“Count Time! Count Time!”
One hundred twenty feet
scuttling toward respective cells,
outlined with goodnight embraces and kisses
(called “queer actions” by our keepers).
Instant silence as the whole shuts its mouth
for what, behind locked cell doors?
To pee, flush toilets, to masturbate its body and life
searching for the brightness of come
trying to burn out the shadows of bars
transmitted on…
"Have you ever had that feeling—that you'd like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?"
"I’m still wandering through the streets, looking, sitting by the sea, enjoying the sunshine. I am entirely alone. I don’t know anyone, no one knows me, and for me that is a great pleasure."
