The Prisoner Series: Part I

A Poem

He sits alone in a cell

Knowing well enough

The walls rough around him

What confounds ain’t profound

Sound jumps off walls

No leap, no peep

So why all these voices?

Girlfriend stares down

Tall, dark brown

Eyes to drown in

Mounds on her chest?

Breasts! Yes

Bare to caress

Until she leaves him

Until they leave him

A tree falls in the forest

While no one is around

He felt it
