Correctional Facility

by Ashok Niyogi


 

Imprisonment well programmed

Passes into one more term

To run concurrently

Until I decide to die

And in dying covet imprisonment

In greener grass

On the other side

Which I have trespassed

And in so doing

Have invited judgment

Passed in silence

By formless people

Living alien lives

In an unmarked

Trolley-bus
