                               Fitted with an Ankle Monitor

No one wants to be fitted with an ankle monitor
Except for this man, selecting an ankle
No one wants to sign all sorts of government forms
Except for this man, signing those forms

No one wants to wait for hours in a lobby
Except for this man, waiting for hours
No one wants to pack three years into a paper bag
Except for this man

Who is one steel door, one concrete path, and two wire gates
Away from his mom in the parking lot
