wearing orange again

i go down
to bail a friend out of jail.
he's behind
on child support payments
once again.
a few grand
this time.
the third or fourth time
around
with this game,
but the judge
wouldn't hear of it anymore.
they cuffed him
and took him
away.
they took his belt
and shoelaces too, and gave
him a bunk
with rubber sheets.
so now it's up to me,
his only
friend
to get him out before
he goes
into the big house for
six months.
some people never learn.
