PASSING THE TIME <br /> <br /> <br />I toss and turn <br />Try not to sleep <br />Woke up to piss <br />Cuz my bladder is weak <br />My mind is tired <br />But I can’t shut it down <br />I’m getting fat <br />Cuz I just lay around <br />Jail is a boring place to be <br />Unless there’s a fight between inmates <br />Or something good on the T.V. <br />Thinking of ways to abide my time <br />When I can’t sleep <br />I write on these lines <br />Sometimes good <br />Sometimes not <br />But paper and pencil <br />Are the tools I’ve got <br />After this I’ll lie back down <br />To rest my mind <br />And try to shut it down <br /> <br /> Mike Farris Jr. <br /> <br /> 6/07/08<br /><br />Mike Farris Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/passing-the-time-2/
