Life in Solitary
i pull on the bars
 with idle hands 
 distant eyes 
 paint flakes off
 where the wraith of my rebellion
 has rubbed away the time
 floating outside
 staring up at the sky
 fifteen degrees of freedom
 in a circle without end
 another cup drains
 mnemosyne and lethe
 taken in turn
 for an answer
 for a question
 i cannot remember
 in a place
 i cannot forget
