Flyin' Off the Cuff
seems we use this site
far better than a psychiatrist's
phony bull-shot...and his leather couch,
they wouldn't understand us , anyway
you can't learn from
books and lectures
the lessons life has taught us-
not to demean them, trust me,
I've no doubt they've had
their own horrors or uncertainties
to deal with...but, lets face it,
when their clients are gone,
their studies concluded,
to go sit back, in a recliner,
smoke a pipe and look wise
our words will far outlive them
and they know...you can see it in their eyes.
