TWO POEMS ON PSYCHOTHERAPY



Courtesy Steve Brodner NY Times





" A Nod To Freud "


The id,
undifferentiated want,
feels the breast
starts to connect.

The ego,
in service to the id,
defines the world
as its palliate.

The super-ego,
in service to society,
says no to self-indulgence
it is here we live.






P S Y C H O T H E R A P Y


Psychotherapy
is creating an atmosphere
where someone [or someones] can feel,
to the continually changing
best of their ability,
completely free
[to be
who they continually
are changing]
to become.

{......course, we can substitute love or trust......}
