Life Deferred

What happens to a life deferred?

Does it overflow
Like New Orleans after Katrina?
Or does it rot like a corpse--
And then disappear?
Does it reek like a corrupt egg?
Or rust and decay--
like a junkyard?

Maybe it just dies
like a comatose patient.

Or does it implode?

Letter to Jerry from Steve

Dear Jerry,

I miss you. It isn't a fun place to be, here in jail. Stay in school and don't try drugs or anything bad. How have you been? Has anything changed since I've been gone? You still wanna be my sidekick? Think about all the tomorrows of your life. Don't forget about me.

Your Big Bro,

Steven Harmon

Found Poem

All the world was in jail

It didn't look real

Playing the world like a game

The world drifted into the area

Different from my world

Somebody was so far away

Playing games on the field

It didn't look real

Different from my world

All the world was in jail

Steve's Innocence?

I personally believe that Steve is guilty because he had to make his mind blank after the robbery went down. He also felt miserable and possibly hatred towards himself for wanting to be tough like King and BoBo Evans.

2031

If I went to jail right now for 21 years and 3 months I wouldn't be out till 2031. I would be 37 years old. I think that a lot more jobs would be using technology to get done and the world would be too dependent on technology. I also think that we would have flying cars. My life would be horrible everything would be different people would look at me funny and be prejudice.

Steve A Tool

STEVE A TOOL. STEVE
NOT COOL. STEVE
FAKE LATE. KING
SHOOT STRAIGHT. KING
MAKE SIN. STEVE
STRETCHED THIN. STEVE
BE SCARED. KING
NOT FAIR.
