Worked with a man once who spent time in prison
He was fresh out of the pen
Lifted weights for pleasure
Lived in a halfway house
Reported to the parole authorities on time
He liked my teams and had a mustache
Years ago he was high and blew a dealers head off
Kingston taught him a trade
He became near learned
The temptations still rose as they do in all of us
We joked and smoked together
Shared stories of our teams and a fair amount of drinks
After that period he began to worry
The board was on him
See he was to live to higher standards than me
He was tested and left my work
Heard down the wire that he’s hanging in there.
