The record — long form
Lima is the poured — the 'largest concrete' that's the '15 build, the 'Pentagon beat' that's the record's end. The 'criminally insane' is the held — the 'too dangerous' that's the others' reject, the 'warehouse' that's the care's truth. The '300 escaped' is the walked — the 'breaks frequent' that's the walls' fail, the 'lawsuit '74' that's the rights' win.
The 'ghost tucks' is the told — the 'tucked in' that's the kind spirit, the 'woman feeds' that's the employee's return. The 'closed '04' is the left — the 'asbestos mold' that's the rot's keep, the 'off limits' that's the door's seal. Lima is the shifted — the 'hospital' that's the care's start, the 'prison' that's the '82 turn.
The file keeps Lima: the poured walls, the held insane, the tucked inmates, and the sealed doors.
