Poster, women’s prison:
PARTS OF SPEECH FAIR
INTERJECTION, A WORD THAT EXPRESSES STRONG FEELING
UGH! WOW! OH!
His last word: Wow
That’s all he said, the warden told the camera.
Mitterand last dined on ortolans
in the tradition of French kings
Some have crawfish with the warden; some dine on oxygen
In some prisons the last cigarette is no longer permitted
0 exceptions Don’t ask
And eye for an eye It says in Exodus
Whose eye?
An eye
Audible light an assault
The perimeter fences lined with summer poinsettias
Neiman Marcus has begun its Christmas countdown
Poster, prison, greenhouse:
WE GUARANTEE OUR PLANTS TO GROW
OR DIE TRYING
