G Code

I get brought back to 4F and everybody wants to know what the hell happened.

My celly grabbed my papers

Holy shit! She's getting out

And now the pod is lit

My celly comes back with envelope full of papers

She said all I ask is that you put some money on my books

I have two felony bench warrants I don't know when I am getting out but if I see you outside we will have a good time

Throw the envelope in the trash before you walk out of jail

I didn't ask questions

You can leave the jail with papers but if they want to check your papers and something ain't right you are back in a cell

So I leave I put on my filthy clothes that are covered in menstrual clothes.

I don't even risk it

As soon as they went to get my ID debit card I tossed that shit in the can behind the desk

I walked across the street to the bank

I took out the money and went back into the jail to put cash on my celly's books

I walk back outside I am staring at the sky I am about to die

I hear my mother screaming my name

I'm going to die but at least I can see the sky and smell the city air

My name my name a car horn blaring

And there she is my mother

The jail notified her I was released and she had been driving around the block in city traffic

If I hadn't stuck to my moral code

If I hadn't stuck to the code

If I had been greedy and said fuck it and got a coke and a pack of Newports.

I would have died

Very soon in the street.

I would have missed my mother.

Who rushed me to the nearest hospital screaming hold on my name hold on.

And it's about to get worse
