      Step 310
      Trial.
      Physically present,
      mentally absent.
      I.
      Don’t.
      Care.
      Prosecutor
      The government’s overriding
      interest is that justice shall
      be done and that the
      prosecutor is the servant of
      the law, the twofold aim
      of which is that guilt shall
      not escape or innocence
      suffer.
      Not true.
      Nobody cares.
      It is subject to the
      kind of
      blunt abrogation
      that would occur
      with the recognition
      of a due process
      entitlement
      to post conviction
      access to evidence.
      Nobody cares.
      Step 23
      Time to fly home.
      Two detectives.
      At McCarren,
      they’re twenty feet
      ahead.
      There’s fourteen
      chances for me
      to escape.
      Nobody cares.

      “I discovered writing in prison. I didn’t think my words mattered to anyone. I was completely taken by surprise when one of my fellow inmates said my words are meaningful to her. Catherine La Fleur inspired me to become a better writer. Now I take writing seriously and constantly revise to make sure each piece is perfect. Over time I am surprised at how much I have opened up about myself.”
