Out Patient

A case
too tricky
and anti-science
anti-logic
too clever
rolled up into
a bale of hay
captured energy
from glistening trays
of uneaten buffets

Vikings of Geisha boys
riding curved headed ships
paddled into mock joy
black-guarded low gips ...

Days of doggerel fashion
Fran questioned and found
only pain as
truth serum.

We are on the same side --
this a question
from a freak
who wants to
circumcise his own fingertips
Fran ran away
-- checked out.

To experience
Counter reality
with anxiety
in an out patient
sort of way.
