Dear Molly

Dear Molly

May i please call you Molly

Since I do not know

Your real name

I'd enquire but I do not know

If your guards would

Provide it or the address

Of your cell

Thank you for your hard work

We have lived in marvelous times

Together

I came in contact with your project

Today when it could have

Easily escaped my notice

I know they don't pay you

Very much

Easily described as chicken feed

By those who have power

Over your cell and the ones

Next door with presumably

Your friends

I doubt you have much

To chat about

Romances though I wonder

And what happens

To your projects

Once they go into

The cruel system

Where you now find yourself 

Incarcerated

We both know that your

Judges were very hard

You had no lawyers

The automatic assumption was

You are guilty and must be

Punished to the fullest

You will not see the blue sky

You will not share a carefree life

That I would wish for you

So I provide this apology to you

Dear Molly

For my clumsy attempt

That resulted this morning's 

Accident when my butterfingers

Dropped your egg
