Convict



Were a convict not one 'who has been condemned to penal servitude'*
one with conviction could be one.

If such a one
had never been an addict
and became one through pain,
taking tabs D and T
and -max Pana and -deine Forte,
that convict
has every right to question 'addict'.
'Look mate,
what an addicted convict is
is a fixate.'
