James McLain Poems

On the white sand a lonely dark lock she stands
and clouds over head a rich fragrant smell.
More butter brown but darker to me she is yet
and the buckets I carry,
...

How your strong thighs and calves
either one opens under my hand
and the other grows more taught
looking up now at your parting lips
...

Open it is stealth.
And you smile, thought not high enough.
The red bird on the tree.

A 2002 study by the United States Department of Justice indicated that recidivism rates among sex offenders was 5.3 percent; that is, about 1 in 19 of released sex offenders were later arrested for another sex crime. The same study mentioned that 68 percent of released non-sex offenders were rearrested for any crime (both sex and non-sex offenses) , while 43 percent of the released sex offenders were rearrested for any crime (and 24 percent re-convicted) .

A collection of official studies spanning the years 1983-2010 for all 50 states and the federal government of the US has been assembled. This URL provides a spreadsheet and.zip file containing sources supporting the DOJ study, where the average recidivism of sex offenders committing new sex crimes since 1983 is approximately 9 percent, compared to the 42 percent average recidivism rate for all felony offenders committing any new felony offense.

It is not the slowness
which measures those all of different speeds
which I write on you.
Do you at first glance leave on the front and back
...

Love, can you make me, feel,
better off with or with out it.
And the pain that fate makes me feel
when the sea is their all around me.
...

Hearing gossip about people will change the way,
your eyes see them — literally.
Trees, moss and beards while I have muscles.
...

Death I will come to you.
Before I was known to you I have caused.
Fatal damage to the liver,
lymphatic system, kidneys, the burning bush
...

Singing to me in my head.
Forget all the rest.
I remember it all it means better.
Remember, I remembered that last night.
