An Intra-Prison Love Poem
My dearest Ed, I saw you in the showers yesterday,
âNeath scalding water and guardsmenâs gaze, I let my thoughts elope,
My mind did race unhingedâa thousand words I thought to say,
And I did pray that oh, my darling, you would drop the soap.
 As darkness fell I peered into your lonesome cell,
Your hazy silhouette reclined, the shadowed room was filled,
And I, a lonely fraudulent banker, in this metal hell,
Drew giddy solace from the thought of all those kids you killed.
 Itâs been now nigh two years, oh Ed,
Since last I held my son or wife,
But Iâd endure here âtill Iâm dead,
If by your side Iâd spend my life,
For by your sideâs where I belong,
âTis not the world for me out there,
So next time, though youâve learnt itâs wrong,
Include me when you bomb that fair.Â
