    Poem Commentary

    This is just a reflection on my incarceration for traffic tickets. Prolly not the most eloquent poem, but heartfelt nonetheless.

    Jailhouse blues

    Spent a month in Jefferson County jail for frickin' traffic tickets
    It was by far the most humiliating thing that's ever happened to me
    Never before been in such sticky wickets
    I sure wished no one, my arrest and incarceration, had had to see
    Never been arrested, strip searched, or even been jail
    After a few weeks there in jail, I began to think my release would never be
    Never had endure no phone calls, absolute boredom and not getting mail
    Honestly began to question whether I would ever again be free
    The morning I finally went to court (January 19, 2010) was such a shock
    God had listened to my heart, seen my tears, and heard my plea

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
