From Within Jail Walls

The Steeple Outside My Window
by Todd Gibson
The last clang,
of the door at night
I hate. Sounds dead.
Another day…wondering…
Not looking out my tiny sliver window.
Scripture seeking
for truth and peace.
Sleeping?
Always with a lite.
Another kind of ‘light’ please.
Thankful for food,
although little I eat.
Thirsty for words,
that will heal me deep.
Twenty days?
Longer it seems…
So unaware of life’s continual pace.
Blinded
about my plight.
Crawling. Stumbling.
Can not find the light.
Numb to oblivion.
Close ones I miss…
Mom, family, my sweet lover!
Then one day…
Some relief.
Looking out my tiny sliver window
all I could see
was a steeple for CHRIST.

A volunteer walks into the homeless shelter to help serve breakfast and noticed a Crackhead sitting a table by himself staring at a empty can of orange juice. A half hour the volunteer brings out a plate of food to the Crackhead and out of curiosity asks the Crackhead who is still staring at the empty can of orange juice, “Why are you staring at that empty can of orange juice?” Without looking up the Crackhead says, “it says concentrate.”

Crackhead walks into the hospital holding his chest "Doctor HELP me, I'm having a crackattack" Doctor says, " Nurse, quick get my pipe, its an emergency!"
