Essay on Psychiatrists

I. Invocation

It‘s crazy to think one could describe them—
Calling on reason, fantasy, memory, eves and ears—
As though they were all alike any more

Than sweeps, opticians, poets or masseurs.
Moreover, they are for more than one reason
Difficult to speak of seriously and freely,

And I have never (even this is difficult to say
Plainly, without foolishness or irony)
Consulted one for professional help, though it happens

Many or most of my friends have—and that,

Sensibly about them, about the psychiatrists.

target times demand pinpoint accuracy
deadline preparation technique expediency
plotted emergency contingency resiliency

Dragonfly

There's a droning alarm
that sinks into the ennui
that perch on every grass,
