PRISONER EXPRESS

Suddenly the stench of an obnoxious gas flowed through the cell block of the Wynne Unit, Huntsville, Texas Coughing could be heard; some guys choking on the bad smell...voices could be heard; 'what is that?'...Who is that' and commentary went on as it does when something foul stink up the place... "Dan is that you man?'"

"Hell no, must be camel"

" Hell no don't blame it on me...might be Laredo,"

"Hey, keep my name outta your mouth...ask Porky, he might not say anything, maybe its him"

"Shit don't blame it on me...its not me!"

"Maybe Juanio...let one out haha."

"Me? I far, but not that bad...maybe it was Serna or lil Boxer...who knows, but it smells like there's a dead horse in here."

Serna responded, "Not me" and Lil Boxer answered too, "Do not include me into that shit. Maybe it was fat Rudy, that let it rip...did anyone hear it? No, no one did, but it sure does smell bad around here, maybe it was Flu haha. Hey Flu, was that you that let one out?"

"Hell no. Maybe Louie or Chuy, who knows...I smell it too. And it sure does smell like something dead, maybe a dead rat, or some dead animal, who knows." Anyway up and down the line no one could figure out what it might be and the smell did not dissipate. It smelled like a dead old goat...or maybe it was that old man Chino...someone check on him...maybe that old fool is dead. Everyone hollered to see if that old ancient prisoner was ok...his muffled calls were good enough to confirm that he wasn't' dead.

Everyone passed on the word to turn on their fans and let the air circulate; maybe the stench would blow out of the cell block. Some one hollered...its January 15th and its time for the president to give his state of the union speech...listen up it might be fun...

Voices could be heard; maybe that's what smells so bad?? Dubya, and his bullshit was fixing to come on a 8:00 pm and it was right on time. I tuned my radio to a clear station, where the speech was going to be held on live broadcast, and listened in on the speech, wondering what our president would say this time. He was a real funny guy, but he was our clown, the American people voted for him, and everyone was stuck with him for a couple more years. The newsman stated that there had been some kind of cloud passing over a 13-block area over Austin, Texas and thousands of birds had been falling like manna from the sky...the Gas was not known, not identified yet...

In Brookline, New York, a cloud of gas also has been flowing around the area; something was going on...maybe some terrorists trying to off us? Made no sense. But, then maybe they think this is some kind of government facility, not a prison of Texas...nobody knows for sure. The government, and the governor has been real quiet about the incident here in Texas...But we did hear the thousands of birds fell from the sky...and shortly after, we got fried chicken...It sure looked good but I didn't want to eat it...maybe this was an undercover plot by the government to contaminate us with bird flu...and in turn give money to those big pharmaceutical companies that make pills...maybe...but who knows??? It hard to know from prison what the government might be up to...we just gotta sit here and wait and see.

The President of the United States was fixing to start his state of the union speech... "Thank you new speaker of the house Nancy Pelos, I hope I said that right...huh...huhh...Sometime ago, we had to take care of some badness, and we took care of it, we hung the tyrant by the neck...and two of his cronies got hung by their own people, by their own court of law, justice was met...and we the American people stand behind justice"...once the applause stopped, our president continued.... "We now have an obligation to those people of Iraqi, the Iraqis, to help them build a democratic nation, to be free to vote, and make laws such as our great country...and I intent to send more troops to fight the insurgents that keep blowing up people daily over there, they blow up their own people because they can't get to our soldiers, but they sure try, and we want to reinforce our troops to be able to go after these terrorists and kill them, or arrest them, and take them off the streets of Baghdad...we also got the six party nation to sit down on North Korea, and Kimmy and me had made progress there, thanks to my friend Vladimir Putin, and other great leaders. We also have the backing of the United Nations, and have put sanctions on Iran... I also sat down with Condi and Dick and we got a discussion going global warming. I got a solution...after the plause...it's called WINTER huh huh...but we are working on it. We have to stop that rough state of Iran, stop them from building nuclear bombs...we can not live in this world in peace with Iran having nuclear bombs. Read my shit!! Ah...where's ah Condi, where's Condi when I need here. Huh, ok. Dick this here ain't rights, it's supposed to say 'Read my Lips!" where's Jack? Dick get Jack, somebody messed up here...

Mr. President, your mike is still on Sir....OH.

It was reported that our Governor wanted to help out his Republican brethren, and to help Dubya, he intents to cut down American dependence on Middle East oil, Heaters were turned off in prisons across America...and the drug dealers in Columbia, were given jobs, all the weavers got jobs weaving blankets for the 2.5 million prisoners across American prisons, to keep them warm during this cold winter...

No one knows how true this may be...but it is a step in the right direction for Dubya, the president continued...Mamud Amajeppehad, will have no more Jeep. If he does not stop his nuclear bomb research, and the enrichment to make one to blow up Israel, as he continued to announce, we will have to blow up his jeep...after the applause... And READ MY LIPS....No more new taxes...we will also raise the minimum wage for all Americans who want to work and create more jobs, weaving blankets...Thank you! Thank you ladies and gentlemen...

The stench still wavered, and flowed, the fans had done the work, whatever that obnoxious gas was...it was disappearing fast...Like dubya, once said...The mind is a terrible thing to loose, so don't waist it. There will be no child left behind. Poor kids. Stay alert my friends...do not allow your minds to get dull. Clear up the cobwebs blow off the smoke screen, and look at clear skies ahead as we venture into the space before us, advancing and achieving what we can, leaving this place better than it was when we got there and passed on by. The mind is a powerful tool we can use to get things done. Use it.
