BIG TIME

Biding time she pulls

at her hair like someone itchy

with cooties having

spent too long in a 9 x 6 cell--

light staring in her eyes

remembers

the scratching and clawing

fight at the Legion--

lucky someone didn't lose an eye

took two cops to pry her loose.

Sure hot in here no wonder the ants

are on the run. They've taken

over her space means no reason

for sleeping only time to think

on how to escape this antsy place.
