Eulogy For a Psychiatrist

Listening never heard Watching never seen Relating unrelated Screening behind a screen Eyes white lights in a blue pool maybe one watt Voice warm soothing a computerized hum Thoughts mechanized Battery recharged every hour on the hour Grown man Alone man Stone man 6/28/17

The stone man really got to me. I am still thinking, which makes this a great piece.

Thanks, Dean. I wrote this almost forty years ago. It was the only poem I ever published(about thirty-five years ago or so). Now I wanted to see what kind of a reaction it would get.

Dale, great write! I could see this happening to a person in that profession. You would have to be made of stone in time listening to so much heartbreak every day. 7+++
