It's One a.m. in the psych ward.
Let's just call it 4 North.
On the table that I'm writing at is a plant,
it looks to be a member of the cactus family.
Three nurses sit behind a glass booth
and watch me with curiosity.
One of them looks to be a member of the
cactus family—or is it cacti?
Either way, I don't want her close to me.
Just now, one of the cacti-looking nurses says,
"What are you writing? "
I say, "My escape plan," without looking up.
She says,
"Very interesting."
That's one thing I've noticed in the
psych ward, everything is very interesting.
Just once, I wish they would say,
"That is the most boring load of
shit I've ever heard."
Then, maybe I'd be less inclined
to think they resemble members of the plant life.

Very interesting.
Lol. Thank you.
😂 well let's imagine you and I together in North 4 observing the cacti, lol this is just a genius poem. The satire is top class and by the way I never liked cactus, complicated dry, ugly and prickly.🌹
Yes, you are right. Thank you, dear Teddy.
Wonderful fun words Thomas.
Andy

Lol. Thanks, my friend.
You nailed it brother .. 😎✔️
Thank you brother.
You really paint the picture, Thomas. Captured it perfectly.
Thank you, Tom. I appreciate the comment.
having met several of these ''cacti'' people, it all makes perfect sense to me. not that I had an escape plan, I was only visiting ;o)
Lol. Thank you, my friend.
OK, I ended up here in the end… referred from Teddy’s comment on her funny madness poem.
Don’t visit very much as I’m a little resistant to your rubber stamp quality comments on other’s poems and the constant advertising of your own published work.
However I did enjoy the ‘very interesting’ closure.
Good luck.
Very interesting.
