The first time I was dead

I was dead for billions of years 

Then all of a sudden 

Lights ,camera ,action

My quest for 

Air,satiation,warmth, and body contact

Had begun

This was my first introduction to the

Well meaning idiots

That would nurture my

Body, mind and spirit

In the ways they had been nurtured

Deep fried potatoes,crispy bacon,

Cake ,candy ice cream and

Long smoke and argument filled car rides 

And then before  I had any idea

What was going on

I was handed down a 12 yr sentence

To a taxpayer funded

Control and indoctrination center

I resisted any way I could think of

Phony disease ,staged accidents and lots

Of unauthorized  absenteeism 

And then at age 16 

 I got 2 years off for bad behavior  

Fast forward 58 years

I still get the creeps when I drive by

One of those places
