Franks Psychiatry 2 #21: cleaning up

charlie is a veteran
of two train crashes
and a spot of incidental brain damage

 

a tiny bit
foul-mouthed

 

sister schmidt
is a Charge Nurse
german
a disciplinarian

 

the linen is stacked
according to straight lines
and tight rules
in sister schmidt’s ward

 

charlie
is having a word

 

you’re a f*****g old blurgl urgl

 

sister schmidt
with flannel and soap
in hand
is washing his mouth

 

no language like that
in sister schmidt’s ward
thank you
very
very
much
