Just filed in courts. Check "Pacer". On censorship.

Solitary Panel I of II

*Correctional Thrombosis* 01.26.2013

Shaved head five years grown using single razor
Blood drips down forehead, musky smell emanates
Released something, someone's suicide, goodbye Spencer
Cold chills tremor from neck to ankles
Just conveying emotion to strangers - drip drip
Bleeds this hurt, wafts dead smells. Happy trails
Amigo

I did it. Completed suffering built for fifty men
I can't do it. I'll miss my hurt. It's pulling me back
Too innocent. Too jaded to do. Too much haunting
Will razor shave lower and lower, releasing everything?
Want to rid body of all of it but can't - drip
Must use it to destroy - drip drip - those
Who created it

Sadness sits inside paranoia. Despair stands with delusion. Isolation psychosis destroying like needle
Drawn and squirting in vein collapsed, into a heart
Beating black. Tha-thump tha-thump tha-thump
Captive drums. Prisoner dreams of love turned nightmare
Non-trusting tha-thump non-believing no one
Drip. Drip thump

All I am is lost. Been buried literally. No crumbs
To follow out. Just dreamers and poets believing
In my... in me overcoming state sanctioned insanity
"Can he do it? He must do it. But can he?" they say
I don't remember my contributions. It's lost
Not living for yesterday but dying in the moment
Tomorrow's impossible says the drip, seconds the thump
I dream of being sane enough to sit beside a woman
To not crawl inside myself. To tell her how I'm hurting
I sit huddled under an underpass, lay starving beneath
A bridge. Just died of a treatable AIDS infection
In Africa. Died of an obese man's heart attack
In Amerikka

To that sixteen year old youth thrown by neck
Into dark, smelly, cold cement. Focus on the pain, comrade,
Befriend it. I've been there. We exist everywhere
There's pain. There's us. That's life. That's
Revolution
