New School – An Original Poem

in #poetry10 years ago (edited)

I just met an accomplice
as hopelessness closes in,
tending my soul to no end,
it's voice coming from foreigners
all speaking the same tongue
and me the stranger,
just the one.

Living in hell,
this hillbilly jail,
with bars forged in miles
and a callous warden
imposing solitude,
if not bribed with gasoline
and an invitation.

This is my first lifeline,
but why?
I know nothing of hunting,
outhouses and Skoal.
Can he really be
just like me?

He arrives with a van full of guys,
freaks, drunks and suicidal punks.
Normalcy invades this infernal farm
blasting that grungy aural charm.
I enter the van, it's my new home,
I'm no longer in this all alone.
