jailer

|| jailer ||

he walks
back and forth
mumbles
to himself
once he catches my eye
flash a cheeky smile
what goes on in his head?

one minute
he's quiet
as a mouse
then the next
he's louder than
a swarm of bees
what goes on in his head?

tears up
his old rags
scattering them
all over the cement floor
he waits and waits
as if them to catch fire
what goes on in his head?

he gulps down
his bread
in a matter of
mere seconds
grab the bars
scream for more
what goes on in his head?

he sits
in the corner
of the cold room
he whimpers
like a starved street dog
in the middle of the night
what goes on in his head?

bites off
his dirty nails
runs his hand through 
his messy hair
his face with a sneaky smirk
between the bars
what goes on in his head?

he finds
a broken piece
of a broken tile
scribbles
along the wall without a pause
flashes his middle finger at me
what goes on in his head?

i wake up to the sound of
wailing sirens
bustling people here and there
"he's gone"
i smile to myself, thinking
he wasn't off his head all this time.
