Possum is at Airway Heights

I'm at a new prison right ? New cell, new view. I hear this sound and I think , wow, my neighbor is pounding on the wall and yelling on the phone. He stops yelling, I look out the window and that pounding noise is actually fireworks in spokane which I can see from the two 5 inch wide window slats. Not something I ever saw in the Aberdeen one. Im so institutionalized that not only did I entirely forget that there are fireworks today, but I assumed the sound was my neighbor pounding on the wall.
