10,597. HIGH-FLYING BIRD

HIGH-FLYING BIRD
Friendship and water. 
Richie Havens' things.
The new vest I was wearing.
Which I'd bought for the
hearing. I decided to wear
it lightly. And I even shaved.
Deputy Carldstet thought
it would make a better
impression. I didn't tell
him about the razor in
my new vest pocket.
-
He unlocked the circular 
door and let me out. I ran
like hell to be that high-flying
bird. BUT! They caught me
that quickly and tied me
down. A few other inmates
looked over as they watched
me drawn back in.
-
Those second and third-tier
guys, they had the life. Looking 
down from their heights like that
high-flying bird.
