No—
Clothes with strings.
Clothes with metal strap adjusters.
Shoes with laces.
Belts.
Drawstrings on sweatpants.

No—
phone chargers.
Anything with batteries.
Anything with glass.
Anything with cords.

Hair clips.
Pen caps.
Floss.

Plastic spoons—
they keep them in their pockets.
You have to ask.
They have to watch you throw them away.
Still not sure what someone did
to make that a rule.

Papers with staples.
Wire-bound notebooks.
Soap pumps—
any pumps.
Perfume bottles.
Aerosol sprays.
Caffeine after three.
Movies over PG.
Headphones.
News.
Calls.
Keys.
Coins.
Lighters.
Matches.
Book­s with hard covers.
Razors (duh).
Scissors.
Tweezers.
Nail clippers.
Q-tips.
Mirrors.
Makeup.
Sharp pencils.
Plastic bags.
Last names.
Privacy.

No guitar—
unless you have a prescription.

Thirty minutes between checks,
all day, all night.

No door knobs.
No way out.
Nowhere left to go.

No—
you.
