he’s in for five years
prison cook said to a friend
he likes my chili

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
That first poem is so evocative. I could instantly visualize the scene and feel the water. I have also created a story in my head that the convict in the second poem keeps getting incarcerated because he so adores the chili made by the prison cook.
I did so much swimming in my earlier years that I feel the smell of chlorine is comforting and I love a good pool blue color! I got the idea for the cook one in that the front desk guy at the Y when I was going there, his regular job actually was prison cook. I was thinking about that when I came up with this imagined scene, and I thought the same thing, the guy loves the chili and stays in ; or else, the other way, it’s one of those non-related set of observations that actually tell a story, but what???
I know 788 intimately. (K)
Yes, me too. I never have ever felt that hand sewing (as I envision this poem to describe) really liked the way I handled it and all the components fought me.
