Franks Psychiatry, 2 #30: medication jam

Frank Prem

medication time
in the retardation ward

 

there is a line
four metres long
of joyful anticipatory faces
queued up
like traffic delayed
in peak hour

 

one at a time
they shuffle forward
to receive a large dollop of jam
with tablets enclosed
placed upside-down
onto each tongue
and wiped clean
by sticky lips

      Industrial sized tins of the stuff, GF.
