Kootenai Jail

I arrive, at Kootenai Jail

Way too late, for visiting hours

The lot goes dark, the parking lot's cold

My window's down, in falling snow

Lit basketball court, 'neath searchlight poles

Fence top droops down, no one scores

Where there's footprints from 10pm

Last cigarette, this ain't your house

No smoking in bed

And I've come too late, to see my friend

Suppose it does nothing, to stare at where he's been

A half-bit sandwich, laying in the snow

Made a bright mustard slick, where it got kicked

By some uncaring dick
