Snapshots From My Padded Cell: Poetry and Fiction

By M Christopher Jones

This book of poetry and fiction is about the gap between who we want to be, who society perceives us to be, and who we really are. These three personalities rarely, if ever, fit together into a harmonious whole.

She Lived Her Life On Her ThinkPad
she lived her life on her thinkpad
the Web was her best friend
loved dearly by her mom and dad
though slighted to no end

she helped out in the garden some
she also helped with chores
but rarely did she wander from
the safety of closed doors

an ambulance came by one day
i saw her mother cry
i miss her since she's gone away
my neighbors don't see why

Empty Home
i was waiting for
my dad to come home
until i remembered
he's dead
