Robert On The Web -
Write In The Night
by: Robert J. Shelley © 2004
August 16th - This is Shirley Max. We get out of our cells 3-6 hrs. per day, it's usually closer to three. I love the nights, the block is quiet and I can sit in silence and think about anything that comes to mind.
I wonder why you haven't written, I am a good man and you are a part of my life plan, yet you choose to neglect me. How can I ever be free if you don't help me?
I do ask for money orders and checks so I can be online, afford stamps and stationary, buy coffee, and a little food in the canteen, pay a lawyer.
I answer all my mail, most of which is legal research. Gabrielle, then Jean wrote but I received no replies to my response.
Do you have to lie to people until they believe what a great person the liar is or is the truth so difficult to be reciprocated with that made up stories are easier to bear, the words softer to hear?
Have I been in this cage so long I am completely unaware how to communicate with people of freedom and liberty?
My lungs still breathe, my heart still needs, and my mind still feeds off what I read in your written and unwritten pages.
You and I are probably friends that haven't introduced ourselves yet. I am a legend in my own mind just so I don't have to go through life in total anonymity. Are you paying attention?
In me you have straight answers because I don't need to lie. Maybe you should write at night, in the quiet, no need to lie, try it.
Make up a name and leave anything else the same, this is all about sharing with a stranger, no penalties, no dangers, heaving what you've got to heave off your chest, being your worst or your best, it doesn't matter, let it all rest... with me.
