Fisherfolk

...atuesquely stand,
 And at the water look;
But if they pull their float to land
 It's just to bait a hook.

I ponder the psychology
 That roots them in their place;
And wonder at the calm I see
 In ever angler's face.
There is such patience in their eyes,
 Beside the river's brink;
And waiting for a bite or rise
 I do not think they think.

Or else they are just gentle men,
 Who love--they know not why,
Greeen grace of trees or water when
 It wimples to the sky . . .
Sweet sim...Read more of this...

Marriage

...ws --
"of circular traditions and impostures,
committing many spoils,"
requiring all one's criminal ingenuity
to avoid!
Psychology which explains everything
explains nothing
and we are still in doubt.
Eve: beautiful woman --
I have seen her
when she was so handsome
she gave me a start,
able to write simultaneously
in three languages --
English, German and French
and talk in the meantime;
equally positive in demanding a commotion
and in stipulating quiet:
"I should like to be ...Read more of this...

Sex Goddess

...Show
and MTV and become a parody
of myself and make
buckets full of money off my own inane brand
of self-righteous POP PSYCHOLOGY
because my pain is different
because I am a SEX GODDESS
and when I talk,
people listen 
why ?
Because, you guessed it,
I AM THE SEX GODDESS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
and you're not....Read more of this...

The Puzzler

...can logically predicate his finish by his start;
But the English--ah, the English!--they are quite a race apart.

Their psychology is bovine, their outlook crude and raw.
They abandon vital matters to be tickled with a straw;
But the straw that they were tickled with-the chaff that they were fed with--
They convert into a weaver's beam to break their foeman's head with.

For undemocratic reasons and for motives not of State,
They arrive at their conclusions--largely inarticul...Read more of this...

The Unknown Citizen

...odd in his views,For his Union reports that he paid his dues,(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)And our Social Psychology workers foundThat he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every dayAnd that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured.Both Producers Research and Hi...Read more of this...

Unusual Love

...dreaming and mixing living with dreams 
I learned to like your usual ways of presenting unusual desires 

What about psychology? 
There is no way to analyze the working of the brain machine, 
Working billions of cells, transmitters, and neutrons 

Flying, fighting, competing 
How do ideas come to life? 
That was another hard question. 

I was not able to find out anything about anything, 
Except that I was alive and felt alive and yet felt dead as well; 
I watche...Read more of this...
