Legal Prison
December 19, 2017
To be confined to stone walls
To be forced to look out, as snow falls
To be required to answer phone calls
And rush to respond at computer stalls
To spend hours a day in a gloomy state
To spend time working afterwards, up late
To spend money at an alarming rate
And slave away from a clean slate
To wish for a time skip to get it all over
To wish for something, like a lucky clover
To wish the teachers would let you keep your folders
And not make you come to school
