Franks Psychiatry 2 #16: token economy

first year students
are not allowed
much responsibility

 

but I am in control
of the ward cigarettes

 

a cigarette after a shower
a cigarette to behave
a cigarette for helping with the cleaning
a cigarette for singing a song

 

my life is taken over
surrounded
by the cigarettes and smoke
that make this world
go around

 

while I
poor fool
decided to stop smoking
just a week ago
