A
Soup
A soup is just a little can of
soup
Available in the prison
commissary
A little warmth to get you
through the night
If there
is anything in your account
A little jar of powdered instant
coffee
Available in the prison
commissary
A ceremony of innocence, as
Yeats would say
If there is anything in your
account
And wakefulness at 0200, a hope
-
If there is anything in that
account
