Poems From Prison
I watched this documentary
About this couple that robbed an armored truck
Something like 3.9 million
This man
The brains of the crime
He had been arrested for robbery
21 years before
But get this
He was released
Because
He wrote poetry
Poems from prison
Supposedly he was decent
I had previously wondered what it would be like to write from prison
But I never imagined
Poetry could get a man an early release
He had seduced a beautiful young woman
And she become his accomplice in the robbery
Something about this story
Makes me happy
And also
Pretty bummed
