At Work On The Psychiatric Ward-Doug Holder

Without an employee I.D. badge
draping down from my shirt,
I cleaned the tables methodically
and when I finished
someone congratulated me
childishly—
high pitched—
with the surprised emphasis of a melodrama...
“Good work! Good work!”


I could have killed him.
