unnumbered blog entry

Hello FREE Citizens of America, THIS is Possum Bones Speaking.  I'm currently an inmate ion King County Jail in Washington State and I have been for ~6 months, but it's important you know I exist.  Even though my life is very different from yours, because of that actually, becasue I can't go into the street and talk to you, this is me as I exist in the free world.  In the free world of information I am just an HTML file.  This is my body, and my blood.  Here for me is just a somewhere for you, a place that no camera ever goes, a place that you can only imagine.  You can't look my world up on YouTube.  Behind the concrete curtain of America where those [scarred or scared] by our justice system make their home.  Some come and go, but after a few months, i8ts a home.  There's so much going on behind the concrete curtain no one who hasn't lived it will never see.  To the people who've never been, jail is just a theoretically shitty place.  To the people who've been shortly for misdemeanors, it's a major pain in the ass just to be here for 2 weeks.  Once you're here for a year, you start getting mighty eager to go to prison.  I've never been to prison.  At this point I can't say anything but that I will never stop writing until either Uncle Sam or another inmate breaks my wrist.
