feeling guilty in jail
he had never felt this alone
disrespected, abandoned, ignored
he dared not ask for any favors
he knew none were coming
he deserved this hard, gray concrete crate
a place to chastise himself for bad choices
no one would come visit him here
he did not expect them to
nothing about this place was friendly
the men guarding it treated him like a non-human
he understood this, soaking up bad feelings about himself
