Call to Whom It May Concern –

Poem by incarcerated member, James

Let me tell you a game I play

Where I close my eyes and fade away.

I float away to a special place,

Beyond the stars and moon spaces.

In this special place, you see,

There are only two people:

you and me.

In this place, all is right

And we never fight.

In this place, there’s

No sadness

No cells

No court.

None of that madness.

No rules to follow,

No laws to break,

No bars to hold us apart.

No one says we can’t kiss or touch.

I don’t say “I love you.”

I say how much.

But eventually, the game must end.

My eyes must open

And reality sets in.

But, some time soon,

I’m not sure when,

I will end these nightly games,

And my real life will begin.
