paraphernalia and unjust handcuffs
two days kicky in jail,
three day bus-ride back to home
unpaid fine and failed unsupervised probation
civil disobediance

This is awesome.
It reminds me of hanging out with my friends.. not that I spend much time in jail, it's the bus ride home part that gets me. I've had quite a few of those.. its always evil to wake up hours away from home.
Tremendous write.
kicky? -

Kicky means being in withdrawal from a medicine/drug, specifically opiates. Sometimes people might use it to mean other drugs for all I know but that's what he meant.

Ah, ok. Hmm, kicky. Never heard that used before, only ever heard it called withdrawal. And I've heard that word quite a few times. Hmm.
Thanks for the new word.
From my experience they don't usually let people going through withdrawal spend it in jail. But... maybe that's just where I live. -

Well, I didn't want them to know that I was also a user of that. Because then I could've possibly faced harsher penalties.
I had a tapering chunk in my belongings--and they searched and seized those. They never found it, though.
When I signed the piece of paper that sealed that I was "guilty," I shook my head repugnantly and was very hurt by how ignorant everyone surrounding me in the courtroom was of how injust it was.

Yes, somebody fought the law and the law won.
Nicely penned my friend.
All the best,

Truth be told, actually, the law lost. He just came home to CA and we've acted like nothing happened. They'd have to waste money to extradite him back to ND, which they're not gonna do over a class A misdemeanor.
