They call it a drug holiday. How cute is that? I imagine a bottle of Haldol and Zyprexa gathering their kids into the station wagon and setting out on the road. Playing travel bingo to keep the little pills occupied and off daddies cap. If Thorazine doesn't straighten up then we won't be stopping at the state's largest ball of twine. The fact that I can have such interesting thoughts is proof that the holiday is here.
Of course the actual term is "strategic treatment interruption". Those glorious few days or weeks in which the psychiatric hospital takes you off your regular medication to spot check your sanity while kicking your drug tolerance back to its default. For the staff, it is hell on Earth. Almost all the major injuries to nurses and orderlies happen during these fun filled days.
As a tourist in the realm of the chemical free I am feeling dangerous for the first time in years. With my mind moving at it's normal speed and not the molasses drip slowness of a drug haze I am able to plan. Asylum living is an ocean of structured sameness. Put a little pattern recognition on top of cold blooded creativity and an escape plan enters my twisted mind. I have always found that planning any criminal act is easy once you are as straight as you are crooked.
The time to act is now. To make this holiday a permanent vacation. A world of wicked things awaits me back in my beloved San Paro. Ah yes, San Paro, where the abnormal is normal and a head full of misfiring neurons is perfectly acceptable so long as you are a good earner. And I was always such a good earner. As I take my first steps toward freedom I feel happy and nervous and all the other confusing emotions that the drugs normally don't let me feel.
But above everything else I feel truly, insanely optimistic.
