I know of someone
Who is incarcerated
In prison for life
Without the possibility of parole,
That means he shall die
In that prison cell,
Or an equivalent prison cell
He is about forty-five today,
Has been in prison for five
Stares down another 40 years of prison
I would one day want to talk to him
A long leisurely chat
Where we talk about his crime
Or lack of it
His penitence,
Or the lack of it
Purpose in life
Or the lack of it
And finally, meaning
Or the complete lack of it.
