A Bag of Cabbage Chips
Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment, and will die here like rotten cabbages.
-#6 in Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner
A voice:
Be still, and know that I am Chip
Be still, because this might sting a little
There, now, wasn’t that easy? Here’s a tissue
Who’s a good boy, then! Here’s your free tee-shirt
Now that you are one with the ‘way cool kids
You can use your implanted chip to buy
A cup of coffee – or maybe a bag of chips
Log into a computer, and open doors
The one small thing you cannot buy or see
Is the return of your own human dignity
