“Invisible walls barricade you and all winds have ceased. You feel encased by padded glass, held by arms you cannot see. You were never claustrophobic, despite all that time spent in bunkers and narrow beds and lifelong closets. But like any reasonable person, living or dead, you'd like to have the option of running away, especially when there is plenty to run from.” Instead you find yourself immobile and optionless, the involuntary detainee of figures in white smocks. Moses to your left and He-Man to your right. They look ahead and they do not smile. Before you is Dr Ranee: white sari, ledger book and schoolyard scowl” PsychoanalysisDeadbeatIrreverent Verse Author:Almeida maali
