The Pros and Cons of Jail

I liked: 
               the thought of climbing up from the very bottom
                          the clean-comfortable sheets
                     the simplicity of a cheese sandwich
                 mopping the floors to the jingle of keys
                  
I didn't like:
               that I was deprived of the very thing that got me in trouble
                                 the monochrome jumpsuits
                        the animal eyes of some of the brutes 
                     the flash beatings of my jail bird brothers
                          at the hands of the Blue Man Group.

Anthony, this poem is crystal clear,like a spring. It's title may seem odd, yes! But the content is a painting to behold in its poetic format. Your poetry is fearless..not meant to Be sweet or ticke our tummy. Panagiota
