exit interview

in terms of my well-being
I have come to the conclusion
that I am both well and being
I am well because I have kept quiet the dark water
though some on the outside could not keep themselves
from falling into the depths
and I gladly welcomed them which is my shame
but they were no prisoners
always finding clever ways to dig out
although some waited then asked for a light
now I am not the type to carry a light
do I look like that type
and of course I am being
being vigilant honorable good
I take the pills offered me
I have never touched that thin nurse with the unkempt hair
and the delicious crook in her spine
yes once I did a dreadful thing a dreadful thing
but that was then and this is now
though now is then somewhere maybe here
I do not know anymore the walls do not tick
and the bars keep no days it is all one day
one long day and you will never let me move on from it
