My Year In Review

From ICU to The Fifth Floor
Visitors with pasted-on smiles
The anti-Cheers
Where Nobody Knows Your Name
(Without a code)

Oh no, not again
Plastic sporks redux
Officially, nothing is a laughing matter
Officially, it's heart-attack serious
But the inmates know better

The third time's a charm
Inpatient lockdown
Three squares a day
Say the right things
Win your release...

Gold Standard Treatment
Electroconvulsive Therapy
memories lost, but
New neural pathways
Found

A month of remission
30 days of questioned hope
It comes back slowly
Yet back it comes
My Happy New Year!
