When I Wake Up by Gary (incarcerated member in NC)
When I Wake Up
When I wake up ,I find myself in an environment
That’s so different from the one I once knew.
I find that I’ve not merely traveled out of society,
But to a place no one warned me about.
I collect my thoughts for a moment
While gazing from the window of my cell.
The rain-slicked razor wire in front of the house unit
Is being cleaned again by nature.
I never fail to be surprised by the same landscape
Time and time again.
Just as I perceive this,
Suddenly the texture of reality has changed once more.
It’s as if the transition from society
Has been nonstop to this Satan’s cave.
Here is where I dwell.
In a momentary lapse of reason.
