nobody could go my bail
I’ve been lost before
so this time I’m taking it
all in stride
having recently arrived
in montgomery
this is not the first time
I’ve been down south
and once when I was there
I thought I’d never
make it back alive
history is not on our side
old friend
it seems this time
it’s damn near impossible
for anyone to save us
january two thousand twenty-two
