at the gate, Jake tells me on
the phone.
they impounded
my car.
i'm being released
this morning from the jump.
but i'm ready
to work.
he's just done thirty days
for another
DUI
and a drunken brawl.
his sixth in six years.
but he's sober and hungry
for a pay day.
he does his best work
when he's sober and just out
of jail.
fit as a fiddle,
ready to start all over again,
once more.
they're letting me keep
my orange overalls,
he tells me, so i'll be
easy to spot
when you come.
