Thanks, Doug. They are two strange poems, I'll admit. Two years ago I did
some research on the US prison system - several poems came out of it.
Another horrible aspect is that large (and, yes, often privately-run)
prisons may be the only significant employers in their area.
As for "Connecting Flight," it epitomizes much of my teenage years.
