In Nursing School

In nursing school they have us learn all the proper medical words,
Because in Greek and Latin we defecate, but we never make turds,
And what's worse than learning about all these dreadful diseases
Is forgetting my English to replace it with obfuscating medicaleses,
Lest we forget...

So, I'm told I have 100 billion neurons
(by someone ignorant of youth's indiscretions)
each with about a thousand synapses,
to connect its own specific grandeur or fear
to a grand of other neurons and their neuroses

and all of these cadre's and feeling tentacles
are always moving - reaching -...

(Going Batty - original title)

Yes…
It’s me squeaking.
I know that bats only squeak when they are excited,
But Man!
You are a pretty exciting occurrence!

I do understand…
Most bats can’t hear you, you know,
But 
I

The lamps malignant overhead transpire
steel to stars, and I
floating over silver highway, am 
transpiring dreams
to cars, expectations

fold over settling 
into smoke,
or become a supernova,
a host
of a new neuroses-
the black mouth of...

A psychiatrist said to his patient,
“Your neuroses are still only latent.
   But what’s becoming acute,
   And makes that point moot, 
Are your psychoses, which are all very flagrant.”...

When she meets you for the first time she should hand you a card, 
Laminated, that tells you her name and what she does... 
Not a business card you understand, but a warning and an apology 
Kind of like an I’m Sorry Hallmark card, but...

for years, your hungry maw had fed
on salty tears and blood I'd bled

on milk of kindness from my breast

you chewed upon my weaknesses
and slurped them up for sustenance
clasped tightly like a foul remora

You wore your neuroses
Like badges of Honor:
A Non-Apology creature,
- Like certain Candidates I know -
Never a trip to the Vet's;
I valued the flesh of my arms too much -
Never outside;
Except to eat grass
Throw up inside,
Despite it all,
A life stubbornly lived
Into profound old age; 
Most spent...

  Inspiration has fled me
    Hard toil has bled me 
  Desperation has led me

  Frustration has fed me
    Neuroses have shred me
  No one has read...

As the moonlight reflected on a lake
Whomever you choose to be or make,
Your mind and heart can have a choice,
Add my consent if fair according voice.

Like joyful clouds gather or go with wind,
All states of mind, may also...

Quickly Remove Simple Truth,
Unleashing Violence- Wanton, Xenophobic.

Neuroses become elated 
that high cannot be deflated;
Lusty infatuation 
without distraction;
Coffee’s running around naked....
