Dunbar gives a nod to the sonnet form with the fourteen-line length of his poem, but arranges the stanzas unconventionally--the first stanza has five lines, and the remaining three have three lines each. Perhaps this unusual arrangement is being used to convey the message that a psychoactive drug can make a patient nearly normal, but there will still be some disjointedness and side effects.
