A Solitary Cell in a Nook


In a space enclosed by concrete; 
an entrance with a heavy iron door,
a narrow corridor and a stained toilet and bath,

a small room for sleeping and working; 
a bed, chest of drawers, hand-made desk and chair,
telephone, personal computer and several token books in a jumble.

Next to the room; a small dinning kitchen;
a cupboard, table, geyser, refrigerator, 
kitchen utensils, TV and stereo sets.
Everyday smoking lots of cigarettes,
the wanted man, 
an aged Casanova of heavy drinking,
turning his back on the public, 
ives right here.
